    Hi jeffshurtliff 

    Please use dot (.) before class name.

    Ex: 

     

    <@liaAddScript>
  ; (function ($) {
	console.log('Adding anchor to article');
    $('<a name="appliesTo">your link</a>').insertBefore(".kbsync-applies-to");

1. Elements can be loaded after your script is executed.  Stop script execution via debugger on start and  check DOM tree for ".kbsync-applies-to".  Try to wrap your code into DOMContentLoaded event listener or similar.

2. To prevent violation try to create custom component of TKB article list using the override and delegate FreeMarker directives. Or add anchors as id attribute to existing DOM elements.
