Usage

The template {{aker}} inserts one or more HTML anchors in a page. Those locations can then be linked to using [[#link|...]] syntax.

1. {{aker|foo}}

could be linked to with [[#foo|...]] from within the same article,

or it could be linked to with [[articlename#foo|...]] from other articles and from redirects.

2. Anchors can be more suitable for inter-article linking than section titles are. For example,

=={{aker|foo}} Section title ==

Here, links via [[articlename#foo]] would remain valid even if the section were renamed.

3. The template can be used to create up to ten anchors with a single call. For example,

{{aker|foo|bar|baz}}

will create three anchors that can then be linked to with [[#foo]], [[#bar]] and [[#baz]].

Specifying more than 10 anchors will cause an error message to be displayed.

Anchor names that contain # (hash), | (pipe), = (equal) will not work as expected. Most other characters, including white space and punctuation are not a problem.
The template can create a maximum of 10 anchors. Specifying more than 10 anchors will result in an error message.
Putting each anchor name on separate lines, for example

{{aker

|humpty
|dumpty}}

will probably not work as expected.

Anchor names should be unique on a page, and should not duplicate any heading titles. Duplicate anchors won't work as expected since the #links go to the first anchor with that name. Duplicate anchors also result in invalid HTML, so you can check for duplicate anchors by consulting the W3C Markup Validation Service.
