[Wikitech-l] No such anchor: CITEREF...
I don't get it. In e.g., http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumbai there are tons of e.g., a href=#CITEREFPatelMasselos2003Patel amp; Masselos 2003/a a href=#CITEREFMehta2004Mehta 2004/a a href=#CITEREFHansen2001Hansen 2001/a But no corresponding anchors. One will only get No such anchor: CITEREFHansen2001 in ones browser.

Re: [Wikitech-l] No such anchor: CITEREF...
It's caused by incorrect use of templates for Harvard referencing like Template:Harv. Some of those errors are caused by a change in Template:Cite book and similar few months back, when they were changed, so that they don't produce the anchors on default, because it was often causing invalid HTML. (This kind of errors can be fixed by adding the parameter ref=harv to the appropriate citation template.) The other errors are caused by typos or not understanding how Harvard referencing works on WP. And not many people check those errors or know how to fix them (my guess). I created a (incomplete) list of articles with those errors at http://svick.aspweb.cz/ (details for Mumbai are at http://svick.aspweb.cz/Harv2.aspx/Detail/1933) and a user javascript to show error messages for those errors at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Svick/HarvErrors.js.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Wiki syntax for representing that a page is a child of another page?

I don't want to rename the pages Not in stock MediaWiki. The typical way to do this is to use subpages: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Subpages But you have to rename the pages (and the names can get long/ugly). Among the reasons for doing this is that, to build the PDF based on the static index, currently I recursively concatenate first the body of a page, followed by each of its children I don't know how it works, but Extension:Collector might be useful to you: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Collection I thought transclusion was a candidate, because pages are recursively transcluded to build the PDF, http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Transclusion In the wiki however, I don't actually want to display pages embedded in each other - instead I want links to child pages. This represents enough information about the hierarchical structure to build the PDF It might be possible in principle to use some kind of template that normally renders as a link, but could be persuaded to render as an inclusion under some conditions. I'm not sure offhand what the best way to do this would be. ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
