Usage

This template is used to generate a link to a certain section of an article that has an appropriate section mark (§).

Instead of:

[[History of IBM#1969: Antitrust, the Unbundling of software and services|History of IBM § 1969: Antitrust, the Unbundling of software and services]]

...you can write:

{{section link|History of IBM|1969: Antitrust, the Unbundling of software and services}}

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

Both generate:

History of IBM § 1969: Antitrust, the Unbundling of software and services

Multiple sections

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 display of the page name

Sometimes we want to suppress display of the page name, and this is done with the | parameter and value.

Comparison of displayed results:

  1. {{section link|WP:Manual of Style|Quotations}}WP:Manual of Style § Quotations
  2. {{section link|WP:Manual of Style|Quotations|nopage=y}}§ Quotations
  3. {{section link|WP:Manual of Style|Quotations|Quotation marks|Commas}} – WP:Manual of Style §§ Quotations, Quotation marks, and Commas
  4. {{section link|WP:Manual of Style|Quotations|Quotation marks|Commas|nopage=y}} – §§ Quotations, Quotation marks, and Commas
