[Mediawiki-l] Linking to a subject inside a page

[Jack D. Pond]

This only works if you have a table of contents on the page and, of course,
can be problematic if someone changes the name of the heading, but if you
are willing to accept these limitations:

The table of contents will automatically create heading tags on a page for
reference.  These tags will be in the form of underscore replacing spaces in
headings.  For example

== Test Heading ==

Would create a tag:

Test_Heading

So on a page where you have more than 4 headings and/or forced creation of a
TOC named Test Page,  you could create a reference as

[[Test Page#Test_Heading]]

This is pretty crude, but could work

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Linking to a subject inside a page

Let's say I've got a page set up about cats.
In that, I've got a few paragraphs about different kinds of cats.
Those paragraphs are set up in the following format:
== Main Coone ==
text
== Siamese ==
text
, etcetera.

How would I be able to make a link on another page that links directly to
one of those paragraphs?
I've tried [[Siamese]], but that doesn't work of course. That simply throws
me to a page that doesn't exist yet.
