Usage

This template is meant to save the editors from writing the same thing twice. For example, instead of the following:
[[History of IBM#1969: Antitrust, the Unbundling of software and services|§ 1969: Antitrust, the Unbundling of software and services]]
within Talk:History of IBM, or[[#1969: Antitrust, the Unbundling of software and services|§ 1969: Antitrust, the Unbundling of software and services]]
within History of IBM article
...you can write:
{{Article section|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:
- Script error: No such module "Section link".
- Q: What if the target anchor is different from what must be displayed?
- A: This might happen if the section title contains characters that cannot appear in an HTML anchor or HTML ID. In that case, you are already in need of writing the ID and the display text separately; use of this template would be pointless as it only makes you type an additional "article section|". Stick to standard Wikipedia linking syntax.
