Module:Section link

Usage[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]

Syntax (overview)[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]

{{section link|Article|Section}}, link to section of other article. → Example: Albert Einstein § Scientific career
{{section link|Article|Section|nopage=y}}, link to section of other article, only displaying the section's title → Example: his § Scientific career
{{section link||Section}}, for usage within the same article, leave the 2nd position empty → Example: § Scientific career

Single section[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]

This template, {{section link}}, or its shortcut, {{slink}}, is used to generate a link to a certain section of a local wiki page and render an appropriate section mark (§).

Instead of:

[[Albert Einstein#Scientific career]]

Albert Einstein#Scientific career

...you can write:

{{section link|Albert Einstein|Scientific career}}

Albert Einstein § Scientific career

Multiple sections[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]

This template may generate consecutive links to several sections of the same page:

{{section link|History of IBM|1880s–1924: The origin of IBM|1969: Antitrust, the Unbundling of software and services|1993–present: IBM's near disaster and rebirth}}

...will generate:

History of IBM §§ 1880s–1924: The origin of IBM, 1969: Antitrust, the Unbundling of software and services, and 1993–present: IBM's near disaster and rebirth

Suppressing page name[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]

Sometimes the page name needs not to appear, e.g. to avoid redundancy and wordiness. For the page on which the template is used, not specifying a page name creates a section link only. The following:

{{Section link||Suppressing page name}}

...is the equivalent of:

[[#Suppressing page name|§ Suppressing page name]]

...and renders as:

§ Suppressing page name

For other pages, |nopage=y can be used to suppress the page name. For example, a link from a talk page to a section of the associated article could be entered using {{Section link|{{ARTICLEPAGENAME}}|Section|nopage=y}}.

Comparison of displayed results:

{{section link|WP:Manual of Style|Quotations}} → WP:Manual of Style § Quotations
{{section link|WP:Manual of Style|Quotations|nopage=y}} → § Quotations
{{section link|WP:Manual of Style|Quotations|Quotation marks|Commas}} → WP:Manual of Style §§ Quotations, Quotation marks, and Commas
{{section link|WP:Manual of Style|Quotations|Quotation marks|Commas|nopage=y}} → §§ Quotations, Quotation marks, and Commas
