View source for Help:Self link

{{H:h|reader toc}}
A '''self link''' is a [[Help:link|link]] to the page itself. It appears as bold text when the article is viewed ("self-link feature"). Examples:
*<nowiki>[[Help:Self link]]</nowiki> gives [[Help:Self link]]
*<nowiki>[[Help:Self link|piped self link]]</nowiki> gives [[Help:Self link|piped self link]]

An indirect self link is a link to a page that redirects back. In this case the self-link feature does not work, even though the feature would be equally useful here; if you are viewing the master copy on Meta of this help page then this is demonstrated here:
*[[Self link]]

Also, when the prefix for the project itself is added (interwiki link style, but again linking to the page itself) the self-link feature does not work; if you are viewing the master copy on Meta of this help page then this is demonstrated here:
*<nowiki>[[m:Help:Self link]]</nowiki> gives [[m:Help:Self link]]

==Self-link to a section==
For a link to a section of the same article, even from the same section, the self-link feature does not work: [[Help:Self link#Self-link to a section]].
