This is not correct and not what the linked ref says. "If you can Pendulum Summon the Level written on the card, you can Pendulum Summon it from the Extra Deck" != "Rank"
==Mechanics==
Once per [[turn]], during the [[Main Phase]], if the turn player has a card with a [[Pendulum Scale]] in each of their two [[Pendulum Zone]]s (for a total of 2 cards), that player can Pendulum Summon any number of monsters from their [[hand]], and/or any number of face-up Pendulum Monsters in their [[Extra Deck]], whose individual [[Level]]s or [[Rank]]s<ref>{{cite book |author=Konami |title=Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game - Perfect Rulebook 2015 |page=9}}</ref> are exclusively between the Pendulum Scales of the cards in their Pendulum Zones (i.e. monsters whose individual Levels/Ranks are between the Pendulum Scales and not the same as the Pendulum Scales' values).
Starting with the [[Master Rules|New Master Rule]], [[Pendulum Monster]]s that are [[face-up]] in the [[Extra Deck]] can only be Summoned to an unoccupied [[Main Monster Zone]] that a [[Link Monster]] [[points to]] or an [[Extra Monster Zone]]. Monsters that are Pendulum Summoned from the hand can only be Summoned to [[Main Monster Zone]]s.
In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links]]'', prior to the introduction of the Extra Monster Zone, only 1 Pendulum Monster could be Pendulum Summoned face-up from the Extra Deck at the time.
Because of the restriction on Levels and Ranks, no monsters can be Pendulum Summoned if the cards in the Pendulum Zones have Pendulum Scales that differ by one or less (i.e. 4 and 4, 3 and 4, or 4 and 3). However, this has no impact on the usage of Pendulum Effects.
A Pendulum Summon is a type of [[Special Summon#Built-in Special Summon|built-in Special Summon]], so it can be [[negate]]d by cards like "[[Solemn Warning]]" and "[[Thunder King Rai-Oh]]". Pendulum Summoning is unrelated to the effects of the Pendulum Monsters in the Pendulum Zones, so can be performed even if their effects are negated (such as due to the effect of "[[Vector Pendulum, the Dracoverlord]]").
