<p>why it&#039;s not a real good idea, augmenting arguments in <a href="/wiki/Anchor_text" title="Anchor text">anchor text</a></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>A [[wikitext]] &#039;&#039;&#039;pipe trick&#039;&#039;&#039; is to change the [[anchor text]] to be different from the [[page name]]. It is used often when someone wishes to ascribe meaning or implication to a page that is specific to some [[faction]].<br /> <br /> Normally, it is better to create a [[redirect]] so that the relative use of that phrase or implication is easy to track with [[what links here]], and so that anyone who strongly disagrees can easily expand the redirect to a full page explaining the various perspectives on it. This also discourages whole sale rewriting of a more general page. For example, if someone wishes to advocate a [[teleological]] approach to change based on [[rules]] and such, rather than an [[ontological]] approach based on [[glossary]] [[consensus]], it would be better for them to write an article in the &quot;[[teleological]]&quot; space than it would be to have them heavily edit [[ontology]] from their own [[POV]].</div>
