{{ ml `\|` target_page`\|` anchor_name`\|` optional_label }} links talk view	Target page # anchor_name or optional label This template produces a link in internal link style and also a "hidden external link", to allow it to be found by Linksearch, which, unlike Special:Whatlinkshere, can restrict the list of source pages to those linking to a specific section of the target page [1]. Therefore it is especially useful for linking to a section or other anchor.	Anywhere on page
{{ mlww `\|` Infobox_templates`\|`Transportation }} links talk view	Wikipedia:Infobox_templates#Transportation or Wikipedia:Infobox_templates#transport This template produces a link in internal link style to the Wikipedia namespace and also a "hidden external link", to allow it to be found by Linksearch, which, unlike Special:Whatlinkshere, shows the full target including a possible anchor [2]. Unfortunately there seems to be a problem using a colon in the search pattern of Linksearch	Anywhere on page
