Template see section implements and formats links to properly wikimarked page sections and anchors in any single Wikipedia page. The template can handle up to four links of either type in any configuration, and may also link the page hosting the link targets. A range of supporting options is provided.

Usage

Structure

In this section, for presentation purposes only, required parameters are in bold; [square brackets] indicate parameter values; variables are italicized; explanatory text is in (parentheses).

Full parameter set in horizontal format

{{see section|pre= |[1] (section heading or anchor name)|[2] (2nd section heading or anchor name)|[3] (3rd section heading or anchor name)|[4] (4th section heading or anchor name)|page= |txt= |txt2= |txt3= |txt4= |sym= |sym2= |sym3= |sym4= |italics= |sep= |post= |term= }}

Full parameter set in vertical format

{{see section |pre= |[1] (section heading or anchor name) |[2] (2nd section heading or anchor name) |[3] (3rd section heading or anchor name) |[4] (4th section heading or anchor name) |page= |txt= |txt2= |txt3= |txt4= |sym= |sym2= |sym3= |sym4= |italics= |sep= |post= |term= }}

Copy a blank version to use. All parameter names must be in lowercase. Use the "|" (pipe) character between each parameter. Delete unused parameters or options, and text in square brackets or parentheses (including brackets). See § Parameters for important details.

At least one section/anchor link is required; any mix of up to four such links in any single Wikipedia page may be utilized. When the link targets are not in the same page as the template, the links are normally followed by, in parentheses, the static text "in" and a wikilink to the page hosting the target anchor(s)/section(s). Undefined parameters are ignored; misspelled, empty or missing parameters display their default values, if any, or no value. Leading and trailing spaces ( ) are trimmed from parameter values; however, displayable values are separated by a single whitespace character. Appropriate punctuation may precede or follow this separator where relevant. There is no default trailing punctuation. Available options may override, enhance or extend template defaults. In most cases, usage errors will result in display of relevant error messages.

Applicability

The template may be used wherever consistently formatted links to page sections or anchors are desirable; a recommended use is as part of a cross-reference – please see and .

Parameters

A target section or target anchor (via anonymous parameter [1]) is required; some options may depend on other parameters or parameter properties. Incorrect parameter values will be flagged under almost all usage scenarios (see § Error messages).
Parameter names are in bold below, for presentation only.

Link parameters

There are four anonymous, ordered link parameters, and one named link parameter. The anonymous parameters may display links to as many as four sections or anchors present in a single page – multiple such links are separated by comma(s), or joined by "and". The named parameter (page), may be used to display a link to the related page; the default value for this parameter is the source page (the page hosting the template).

Required:

• [1] (section|anchor): use the first anonymous parameter for the heading of an existing section or name of an existing anchor, which becomes a target section/target anchor. Note there is no validation for the user entry; misspelled or non-existent section/anchor links will display without error. Enter the section heading or anchor name in plain text – do not use any formatting or special editing (but see parameters sym[n] here, and txt[n] here). A value for this parameter is required.

– for examples see here (in target page) and here (in source page)

Optional (values may be required by other options):

• [2] (2nd section|anchor): as [1] above; use the second anonymous parameter to link a second target section/target anchor in the relevant page.
• [3] (3rd section|anchor): as above; use the third anonymous parameter to link a third target section/target anchor in the relevant page.
• [4] (4th section|anchor): as above; use the fourth anonymous parameter to link a fourth target section/target anchor in the relevant page.

– for examples see here (two sections) and here (four sections)

Suggested/implied:

• page: use this for the title of the page that includes the section(s) or anchor(s) to be linked (the target page); this parameter should be used when that page is other than the page that includes the template (the source page). The source page is the default value, and in such application the parameter should not be used or should be left empty; in any case, when the target section(s)/target anchor(s) are in the source page the parenthetical output will not display. Enter the title (including the namespace prefix, if any), in plain text – do not use any formatting or special editing (but see parameter italics).

– for examples see under parameter [1]

Note: while parameter page is normally ignored when it links the source page, other parameters may yet generate related page errors (example below).

Display parameters

Conditional (require values for the corresponding anonymous target-link parameters):

• sym, sym2, sym3, sym4 (symbol): depending on the number of target sections or anchors, use any or all of these parameters to insert a section sign and non-breaking space (§ ) before each corresponding target-section link; or collectively, before all target-section links. Do not use for target-anchor links unless these are editor-inserted anchors that link target sections; in such cases also consider use of parameters txt[n] below.
  • set |sym=all only when all targets link sections; a double section sign (§§ ) will appear before the first target-section link
  • set |sym=y and/or |sym2=y and/or |sym3=y and/or |sym4=y to specifically apply before each corresponding target-section link

– for examples see here (all sections), and here (some sections)

Conditional (requires a target page value for parameter page):

• italics: set |italics=y to italicize the target-page link; do not use when parameter page refers to the source page. Use this parameter only when the target-page title is already rendered in italics (WP:TITLE). Parenthetical portions of page titles are excluded from formatting and render properly, in plain text.

– for an example see here (includes other options)

Note: parameter italics is unnecessary when {{see section}} is used in a श्रे:Cross-reference templates – such templates' output is italicized by default.

Conditional (requires a value for parameter post below):

• sep (separator): if you insert a postscript, you may use this parameter to add preceding punctuation, followed by a space.

– for an example see here (includes other options)

Optional:

• term (termination): use this parameter to append trailing (terminating) punctuation to the template's output.

– for an example see here (includes other options)

Other parameters

Optional:

• pre (prepend): use this parameter to add brief informational text that displays before the target-section/target-anchor link(s).

– for examples see here (includes other options), and here

• post (postscript): use this parameter to add brief informational text or link notes that display after the target-page link, or after the target-section/target-anchor link(s) (if these are in the source page). You may also use the dependent parameter sep above to add trailing punctuation to the preceding target link.

– for examples see here (normal use) and here (with separator)

Conditional (require values for the corresponding anonymous target-link parameters):

• txt, txt2, txt3, txt4 (link text): if the target link(s) are non-visible anchor names, use any or all of these parameters to display descriptive text for the corresponding link(s), instead of the anchor name. Usage of these parameters is recommended when linking to editor-inserted anchors with abbreviated or non-contextual names. Do not use for target sections unless these are linked by editor-inserted anchors.

– for examples see here (one target anchor, links section) and here (two anchors)

Error messages

Multiple errors are flagged per parameter; errors involving the same parameter may be mutually exclusive. Error messages may also appear conditionally, depending on the use of particular options; for example, when a third target section link is not defined, adding a symbol sign for the section (via parameter sym3), will produce a "link required" error even if correct (|sym3=y).
Messages replace the relevant parameter value(s), and appear in the following cases:

Parameter [1]

• First target-section/target-anchor link is missing:

Parameters [3], [4]

• Intermediate target-section/target-anchor link is empty:

Parameter sym

• Multiple target links required:
• Incorrect entry:

Parameters sym2, sym3, sym4

• Incorrect entry:
• Corresponding target link required:

Parameters txt2, txt3, txt4

• Corresponding target link required:

Parameter italics

• No target-page link specified, or source page:
• Incorrect entry:
