* Anchor names that contain any character shown in the table on the right will not work as expected. However, any of these characters can be replaced with the "&amp;#" codes shown for them here. Or, the pipe symbol and equals sign can be worked around with {{tl|!}} and {{tl|{{=}}}}, respectively. Markup code such as <code><nowiki><sup></nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki><sub></nowiki></code> (superscript and subscript) cannot be used. Most other characters, including white space and punctuation, are not a problem.
* The template can create a maximum of 10 anchors. Specifying more than 10 anchors will result in an error message.
* Unlike with most templates, putting each anchor name on separate lines will not work as expected; for example: 
:<code style="color:darkred;"><nowiki>{{anchor</nowiki></code>
:<code style="color:darkred;">|humpty<br />|dumpty<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>
* Anchor names should be unique on a page, and should not duplicate any heading titles. Duplicate anchors will not work as expected since the <code><nowiki>#location</nowiki></code> links go to the first anchor with that name. Duplicate anchors result in invalid HTML; you can check for duplicate anchors by running the page through the [[Wikipedia:W3C Markup Validation Service|W3C Markup Validation Service]].
* If the template is added to a section title then the code will appear in the edit summary when that section is edited, as in {{nowrap|1="<code><nowiki>/* {{anchor|Issues}}Limitations */ New issue</nowiki></code>"}}. This can be fixed by deleting the template code from the edit summary before the changes are saved. However, this fix breaks the section link in the article revision history.
* Anchor links are case sensitive in some browsers, so treat all anchor links as case sensitive.
