{{Shortcut|slink}}
== Usage ==
This template, {{tl|section link}}, or its shortcut, {{tl|slink}}, is used to generate a link to a certain section of a local wiki page and render an appropriate section mark ([[wikipedia:§|§]]).

This template is intended primarily for use in [[Wikipedia:Hatnote|hatnotes]]. It can also be used in running body text to link to a different section (in optionally a different article), when it doesn't reference the main subject of the text.

=== Syntax ===
* <code><nowiki>{{slink|Article|Section}}</nowiki></code>, link to section of other article. 
* <code><nowiki>{{slink||Section}}</nowiki></code>, for usage within the same article, supply an empty first parameter.

=== Example ===
Instead of:

<code><nowiki>[[Zombie#Drops]]</nowiki></code> → [[Zombie#Drops]]

...you can write:

<code><nowiki>{{slink|Zombie|Drops}}</nowiki></code> → {{slink|Zombie|Drops}}

=== 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:
<pre>{{slink||Suppressing page name}}</pre>
...is the equivalent of:
<pre>[[#Suppressing page name|§ Suppressing page name]]</pre>
...and renders as:
:{{slink||Suppressing page name}}
