URLs to wikis can highlight sections of text using the pages URL, followed by #:~:text=
, followed by the URL encoded section of the text.

- Add this little snippet:
#:~:text=
- Add the URL PATH encoded section of the text you want to highlight using
{{urlencode:string|PATH}}
{{urlencode:highlight sections of text|PATH}}

- Which results in (need to open in a new tab):
