Allow more anchors

Here is an example where there were not enough anchors available; that page has up to 14 anchors in one (the current limit is 10). I've increased the limit to 20 on the sandbox, which should hopefully be enough for the forseeable future, although maybe the limit could be eliminated with Template:For loop? ―Jochem van Hees (talk) 13:00, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

@Jochem van Hees: You don't need to go that far. 14 visible anchors is about 12 too many in any case. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 16:23, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

Why? Those anchors are already there, and probably all have incoming links. Why should they be removed? ―Jochem van Hees (talk) 16:27, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

I see no reason that you can't use {{anchor}} (which has unlimited parameters) to supply the extra ones. So for the case with 14 anchors (do you really need that many), instead of

# {{visible anchor|soap5|Soap5|SOAP5|ADVERTISING|MARKETING|PR|ADVERT|COMMERCIAL|PROMOCORP|GARAGE|PUBLICRELATIONS|PUBLIC RELATIONS|PUBLICITY|Advertising, marketing or public relations|text='''Advertising, marketing or public relations.'''}}

you could use

# {{anchor|soap5|Soap5|SOAP5|ADVERTISING|MARKETING|PR|ADVERT|COMMERCIAL|PROMOCORP|GARAGE|PUBLICRELATIONS|PUBLIC RELATIONS|PUBLICITY}}{{visible anchor|Advertising, marketing or public relations|text='''Advertising, marketing or public relations.'''}}

One of the features of {{Visible anchor}} over {{anchor}} is that one of the anchors (the first one) is visible; but when you use the |text= parameter, that benefit is defeated. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 17:17, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
