Anchors
By default, the template creates two anchors to the results of that election, using the following formats:
<election name as displayed> result,<election name as displayed> result, all converted to lowercase
So for example, on Bradford West (UK Parliament constituency), the table row for the 1970 general election has the automatically-generated anchors General election 1970 result and general election 1970 result. They can be can be linked to as Bradford West (UK Parliament constituency)#General election 1970 result and Bradford West (UK Parliament constituency)#general election 1970 result
Custom anchors
In addition to the auto-generated anchors, up to 3 custom anchors may be added using the parameters |anchor=, |anchor2=, and |anchor3=.
For example, on Bradford Central (UK Parliament constituency), the entry for the 1886 by-election has the parameter |anchor=1886 unopposed ... which allows a link to Bradford Central (UK Parliament constituency)#1886 unopposed
