The template {{section link}} is appropriate to reference sections within the same article.
Contents
Usage
When using in article body text, consider whether an overt link to a specific section in another article may be confusing to readers who cannot follow links, such as those viewing a printed version of the material, or a version republished without links.
Syntax (overview)
{{section link|Article|Section}}
or{{section link|Article#Section}}
link to section of other article. Example: Wikipedia:Albert Einstein § Scientific career{{section link|Article|Section|nopage=yes}}
links to section of other article, only displaying the section’s title. Example: § Scientific career{{section link||Section}}
, for usage within the same article, supply an empty first parameter. Example: § Scientific career
Single section
The template {{section link}}
is used to generate a link to a certain section of a local wiki page and render an appropriate section mark (“§”).
Markup | Renders as |
---|---|
[[Wikipedia:Albert Einstein#Scientific career]]
|
Wikipedia:Albert Einstein#Scientific career |
{{section link|Wikipedia:Albert Einstein|Scientific career}}
|
Wikipedia:Albert Einstein § Scientific career |
{{section link|Wikipedia:Albert Einstein#Scientific career}}
|
Wikipedia:Albert Einstein § Scientific career |
Multiple sections
This template may generate consecutive links to several sections of the same page. You can write:
{{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}}
- Wikipedia: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
Or:
{{section link|Wikipedia: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}}
- Wikipedia: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
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:
For other pages, |nopage=yes
can be used to suppress the page name. This can be used when the page name is clear from context, such as on talk pages referring to the article being discussed.
This common case can be entered using Template:Tlx.

|
Wikipedia:Manual of Style §§ Quotations, Quotation marks, and Commas |
{{section link|Wikipedia:Manual of Style|Quotations|Quotation marks|Commas|nopage=yes}}
|
§§ Quotations, Quotation marks, and Commas |
Styling page name
For some page names (e.g., titles of films or short stories) we’re always supposed to present the core part of the page’s name (without any parenthetic disambiguation) in italics, quotation marks, or some other markup. The |display=
parameter can be used for this purpose:
Markup | Renders as |
---|---|
{{section link|Wikipedia:The Last Temptation of Christ (film)|General controversy|display=Wikipedia:The Last Temptation of Christ (film)}}
|
Wikipedia:The Last Temptation of Christ (film) § General controversy |
Underscores
It is common practice to copy article and section name from the browser’s address bar. When doing that, the article and section names may contain underscores; for example: Wikipedia:Albert_Einstein#Scientific_career
This template automatically replaces the underscores with space characters:
{{section link|Wikipedia:Albert_Einstein#Scientific_career}}
produces Wikipedia:Albert Einstein § Scientific career
There are articles that have underscores. To retain the underscores in the rendered output, use |keep-underscores=yes
:
- The article and section are copied from browser address bar:
Wikipedia:Dual_EC_DRBG#Timeline_of_the_Dual_EC_DRBG_cryptotrojan
- The extraneous underscores are manualy removed:
Wikipedia:Dual_EC_DRBG#Timeline of the Dual_EC_DRBG cryptotrojan
