Awesome stuff that awesome people have imparted

Question:

How do I create a table of contents within a page, with links to sections lower in the page?

Eg - Abbaye Du Livre and other Area page have a Contents box with links to Directions, Navigation, etc.

I don't see any code for the Contents box on the "edit" screen.

It is triggered based on how many sections you have. Once you hit four it is automatically created. --Ylem 15:37, 28 May 2014 (EDT)

Magic Words

Mediawiki installations recognise a lot of "magic words" (see WP:MAGIC for a full list of all the various types). The ones I have copied below deal with behaviours, and as you can see, the top three relate to Tables of Contents.

For documentation, see the [switches Behavior switches] section of the MediaWiki page, unless otherwise stated.

  • __NOTOC__ (can appear anywhere in the wikitext; suppresses the table of contents)
  • __FORCETOC__ (can appear anywhere in the wikitext; makes a table of contents appear in its normal position above the first heading)
  • __TOC__ (places a table of contents at the word's position)
  • __NOEDITSECTION__ (hides the section "edit" links beside all headings on the page; to hide the edit link for one section only, use suitable html tags – e.g. Template:Tag – in place of the normal ==Section== syntax to insert the normal formatting for a section header without including the edit link)
  • __NEWSECTIONLINK__ (adds a "+" link for adding a new section on a non-"Talk" page)
  • __NONEWSECTIONLINK__ (removes the "+" link on "Talk" pages)
  • __HIDDENCAT__ (on a category page, makes it a hidden category)
  • __INDEX__ (tells search engines to index the page)
  • __NOINDEX__ (tells search engines not to index the page)
  • __DISAMBIG__ (marks a page as a disambiguation page and places it in Special:DisambiguationPages, and places inward links in Special:DisambiguationPageLinks). See [Extension:Disambiguator].
  • {{DISPLAYTITLE:title}} (changes the displayed form of the page title)

I hope this is helpful for you all. --Qismat 16:37, 30 May 2014 (EDT)
