Template:Section link/doc

Usage

Single section

This template is used to generate a link to a certain section of a local wiki page and render an appropriate section mark (§).

Instead of:

[[List of Divines#Twilight Mirage?|List of Divines § Twilight Mirage]]

...you can write:

{{Section link|List of Divines|Twilight Mirage}}

...which is much shorter and does not require you to search for the section mark character.

Both generate:

List of Divines § Twilight Mirage

Multiple sections

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

{{Section link|List of Divines|COUNTER/Weight|Twilight Mirage}}

...will generate:

List of Divines §§ COUNTER/Weight​ and Twilight Mirage

Suppressing page name

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=1 can be used to suppress the page name.
