Each section header, regardless of size or depth, has a number corresponding to how many times that header's name has already appeared on the page. The number is "1" for the very first instance, "2" for the next, "3" for the next, and so on. You can link to each header just like a normal header, but using that number after the header's name (i.e. if there are three headers named "Foo," then the first can be linked to like so: [[#Foo 1]], the second. [[#Foo 2]], and the third, [[#Foo 3]]). Using the number "1" for the first header is generally superfluous, as the software will automatically link to the first header without using the number (i.e. [[#Foo]]). If you don't want the number to show, then you have to use a piped link (e.g. [[#Foo 2|Foo]]). </p><p>If you don't know how many times a given header has already appeared on a page (and thus the number to use), there are two ways to find out. </p> <ol><li>Use the table of contents. <dl><dd>If a table of contents appears on the page, click on the header that you wish to link to. The page will jump to that header. Now, look at the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Resource_Locator" class="extiw" title="w:Uniform Resource Locator">URL</a>. At the end, it will show the ID of the header in question. An example of a URL who has just been linked to a header, whose name has already appeared twice (and so is the third instance), and whose name is "Foo:" <dl><dd><tt>http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Example_article#Foo_3</tt></dd></dl></dd> <dd>The header link at the end of the URL shows that to link to this header, you would use [[#Foo 3]].</dd></dl></li> <li>Look at the source. <dl><dd>While looking at the source, first find the section you're looking for, and then look at its ID tags. It will show the number in that tag. An example for a header, whose name has already appeared once (and so is the second instance), and whose name is "Foo:" <dl><dd><tt><p><a name="Foo_2" id="Foo_2"></a></p></tt></dd> <dd><tt><h3>Foo</h3></tt></dd></dl></dd> <dd>The ID and name tags (the ones that say "a name=" and "id=") show that this header can be linked to with [[#Foo 2]].</dd></dl></li></ol> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="How_do_I_get_a_page_deleted?" data-mw-thread-id="h-How_do_I_get_a_page_deleted?"><span id="How_do_I_get_a_page_deleted.3F"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-How_do_I_get_a_page_deleted?"></span>How do I get a page deleted?<span data-mw-comment-end="h-How_do_I_get_a_page_deleted?"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Help:FAQ/Editing&veaction=edit&section=18" title="Edit section: How do I get a page deleted?" class="mw-editsection-visualeditor"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-divider"> | </span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Help:FAQ/Editing&action=edit&section=18" title="Edit section's source code: How do I get a page deleted?"><span>edit source</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>First you should review our <a href="/wiki/Wikibooks:Deletion_policy" title="Wikibooks:Deletion policy">deletion policy</a>.
