Módulo:Section link

This module creates links to sections, nicely formatted with the "§" symbol instead of the default "#".

Usage

From wikitext

From wikitext, this module should be used via the template {{section link}}. Please see the template page for documentation.

From Lua

First, load the module:

local mSectionLink = require('Module:Section link')

You can then make section links via the _main function.

mSectionLink._main(page, sections, options, title)

Parameters:

• page - the page name to link to. Defaults to the full page name of title, or the current title if that is not specified.
• sections - an array of section names to link to, or a string to link to just one section name.
• options - a table of options. Accepts the following fields:
  • nopage - set this to true to avoid displaying the base page name in links.
• title - a default mw.title object to use instead of the current title. Intended for testing purposes.

All parameters are optional.

Examples

Lua code	Wikitext code	Result
mSectionLink('Paris')	{{section link|Paris}}	Paris § Notes
mSectionLink('Paris', 'Architecture')	{{section link|Paris|Architecture}}	Paris § Architecture
mSectionLink('Paris', {'Architecture', 'Culture'})	{{section link|Paris|Architecture|Culture}}	Paris §§ Architecture​ and Culture
mSectionLink('Paris', {'Architecture', 'Culture', 'Sport'})	{{section link|Paris|Architecture|Culture|Sport}}	Paris §§ Architecture, Culture, and Sport
mSectionLink('Paris', {'Architecture', 'Culture', 'Sport'}, {nopage = true})	{{section link|Paris|Architecture|Culture|Sport|nopage=yes}}	§§ Architecture, Culture, and Sport
