This template uses Lua: |
This template, {{multi-section link}}, makes a link to a section, listing multiple nested section names. The first parameter is the page name, and subsequent parameters are section names. The last section name is the one that is actually linked to.
{{multi-section link|page|section 1|section 2|...}}
It's easiest to demonstrate this template's use with a concrete example.
Say you want a nicely formatted link to Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Names and titles. You could use {{section link|Wikipedia:Manual of Style|Names and titles}}
to give you Wikipedia:Manual of Style § Names and titles, but with this it is not very clear what the "Names and titles" section is referring to. {{Multi-section link}} solves this problem by allowing you to specify the intermediate section names, giving readers more context.
{{multi-section link|Wikipedia:Manual of Style|Punctuation|Quotation marks|Names and titles}}
→ Wikipedia:Manual of Style § Punctuation §§ Quotation marks §§§ Names and titles{{multi-section link|Foo}}
→ Foo{{multi-section link|Foo|Bar}}
→ Foo § Bar{{multi-section link|Foo|Bar|Baz}}
→ Foo § Bar §§ Baz{{multi-section link|Foo|Bar|Baz|Qux}}
→ Foo § Bar §§ Baz §§§ QuxTemplateData for Multi-section link
