However, if there is any text at all between the TOC and the first heading, this will cause problems with accessibility. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Floating_the_TOC" data-mw-thread-id="h-Floating_the_TOC-Positioning_the_TOC"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Floating_the_TOC-Positioning_the_TOC"></span>Floating the TOC<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Floating_the_TOC-Positioning_the_TOC"></span></h4></div> <p>The TOC can, in some instances, be <a href="/wiki/Cascading_Style_Sheets#Float_and_clear" class="mw-redirect" title="Cascading Style Sheets">floated</a> either right or left using <code>{{<a href="/wiki/Template:TOC_right" title="Template:TOC right">TOC right</a>}}</code> or <code>{{<a href="/wiki/Template:TOC_left" title="Template:TOC left">TOC left</a>}}</code> when it is beneficial to the layout of the article, or when the default TOC gets in the way of other elements. Before changing the default TOC to a floated TOC, consider the following guidelines: </p> <ol><li>If floating the TOC, it should be placed at the end of the lead section of the text, before the first section heading. Users of <a href="/wiki/Screen_reader" title="Screen reader">screen readers</a> do not expect any text between the TOC and the first heading, and having no text above the TOC is confusing. <i>See the last line in the information about <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Lead_section#Elements" title="Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section">elements of the lead section</a>.</i></li> <li>When floating a TOC, check whether the page layout will be harmed if the TOC is hidden by the user.</li> <li>Long lists may create very long TOCs. The TOC should not be longer than necessary, whether it is floated or not. <code>{{<a href="/wiki/Template:TOC_limit" title="Template:TOC limit">TOC limit</a>}}</code> can be used to reduce the length of the TOC by hiding nested subsections, rather than a floating TOC.</li> <li>The default TOC is placed before the first headline, but after any introductory text. If the introductory summary is long enough that a typical user has to scroll down to see the top of the TOC, you may float the TOC, so it appears closer to the top of the article. However, the floating TOC should in most cases follow at least the first paragraph of article text.</li> <li>Floating a wide TOC will produce a narrow column of readable text for users with low resolutions. If the TOC's width exceeds 30% of the user's visible screen (about twice the size of the Wikipedia navigation bar to the left), then it is not suitable for floating. (Percentages assume a typical user setup.) If text is trapped between a floating TOC and an image, floating can be cancelled at a certain text point, see <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Picture_tutorial#Forcing_a_break" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Picture tutorial">Forcing a break</a>.</li> <li>If the TOC is placed in the general vicinity of other floated images or boxes, it can be floated as long as the flowing text column does not become narrower than 30% of the average user's visible screen width.</li> <li>A left-floated TOC may affect bulleted or numbered lists.</li></ol> <p><a href="/wiki/Template:TOC_right" title="Template:TOC right">Template:TOC right</a> was proposed for deletion in early July 2005, but there was no consensus on the matter.

When an article or project page has a very large number of subsections, it may be appropriate to hide lower-level subsections from the TOC. You can specify a limit for the lowest-level section that should be displayed using <code>{{<a href="/wiki/Template:TOC_limit" title="Template:TOC limit">TOC limit</a>|<var>n</var>}}</code>, where <code><var>n</var></code> is the number of <code>=</code> signs that are used on each side of the lowest-level section header that should be displayed (e.g. <code>3</code> to show all headings down to <code>===sub-sections===</code> but hide <code>====sub-sub-sections====</code> and all headings below that).

Also, the section anchors can be manually linked directly to one section within a page. </p><p>The HTML code generated at the beginning of this section, for example, is: </p> <div class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-html mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr"><pre><span></span><span class="p"><</span><span class="nt">span</span> <span class="na">class</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s">"mw-headline"</span> <span class="na">id</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s">"Section_linking"</span><span class="p">></span>Section linking<span class="p"></</span><span class="nt">span</span><span class="p">></span> </pre></div> <p>A link to this section (<a class="mw-selflink-fragment" href="#Section_linking">Section linking</a>) looks like this: </p> <dl><dd><code class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-text mw-content-ltr" style="" dir="ltr">[[Help:Section#Section linking|Section linking]]</code></dd></dl> <p>(NB section links are case sensitive, including the first character (<a href="/wiki/Help:Link#Section_linking_(anchors)" title="Help:Link">Help:Link</a>).) </p><p>To link to a section in the same page you can use <code class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-text mw-content-ltr" style="" dir="ltr">[[#section name|displayed text]]</code>, and to link to a section in another page <code class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-text mw-content-ltr" style="" dir="ltr">[[page name#section name|displayed text]]</code>. </p><p>The anchors disregard the depth of the section; a link to a subsection or sub-subsection etc. will be <code class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-text mw-content-ltr" style="" dir="ltr">[[#subsection name]]</code> and <code class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-text mw-content-ltr" style="" dir="ltr">[[#sub-subsection name]]</code> etc. </p><p>An underscore and number are appended to duplicate section names.

Therefore, incoming links to the old section name will have to be fixed. This problem can be fixed by adding a manual anchor link to the old name, using the <a href="/wiki/Template:Anchor" title="Template:Anchor">Anchor</a> template. </p><p>However, if you do not want to retain links to the old names, you will need to track them down and fix them. There is no separate <a href="/wiki/Help:What_links_here" title="Help:What links here">What links here</a> feature for sections: the list does not distinguish between links to one section or another and links to the entire page. The following possible workarounds will help "future proof" incoming links you make to a section, but they will not help with tracking down simple links to sections during a rename: </p> <ul><li>Instead of linking directly to a section, link to a page that redirects to the section; when the name of the section is changed, just change the redirect target. With this method, pages linking to the section can be identified by using <i>What links here</i> on the redirect page.</li> <li>Use a manual anchor when you wish to link to a section, so that you do not have to rely on the section name being stable.</li> <li>Put a <a href="/wiki/MOS:COMMENT" class="mw-redirect" title="MOS:COMMENT">comment</a> in the wikitext at the start of a section listing pages that link to the section.</li> <li>Make the section a separate page/template and either transclude it into, or just link to it from, its parent page; instead of linking to the section one can then link to the separate page.</li></ul> <p>Redirect pages can be categorized by adding a category tag after the redirect command. In the case that the target of the redirect is a section, this has to some extent the effect of categorizing the section: through the redirect the category page links to the section; however, unless an explicit link is put, the section does not link to the category. On the category page, redirects are displayed with class redirect-in-category, so they can be shown in e.g. italics; this can be defined in <a href="/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css" title="MediaWiki:Common.css">MediaWiki:Common.css</a>.

This is because for the targets of the "edit" links the content of conditionally included templates is considered part of the page itself, and the sections are counted after expansion. </p><p>Thus, the "edit" links of the sections of the included template link to the page itself instead of the template, and the "edit" links after the included template link to the correct page but the wrong section number. </p><p>More generally, conditional sections give such a complication. </p><p>The problem does not occur when transcluding a template with a conditional name (which has more advantages).

This section, <a href="/wiki/Help:Editing_sections_of_included_templates" class="mw-redirect" title="Help:Editing sections of included templates">Help:Editing sections of included templates</a>, is an example. </p><p>For the purpose of section editing the extent of a section is governed by the headers in the calling page itself. It may consist of a part before the template tag, the template tag, and a part after the template tag, even if the template has sections. </p><p>It tends to be confusing if the extent of sections according to the system is different from what the rendered page suggests. To avoid this: </p> <ul><li>if a template has headers, do not put any text before the first header</li> <li>in the calling page, start a new section after a template that itself has sections</li></ul> <p>It may be convenient, where suitable, to start a template with a section header, even if normally the contents of the template would not need a division into sections, and thus the template is only one section. The edit facilities for editing sections can then be used for editing the template from a page that includes it, without specially putting an edit link. This template is an example, it does not need a <i>division</i> into sections, but has a header at the top. </p><p>One downside with this solution is that you can't change the section level in the page that includes the template. This means that the section level you use in the template will be the same that is displayed on all your pages where you include the template, despite the fact that this might conflict with your intended hierarchy on the different pages. </p><p>Note that a parameter value appearing in a template, for example "{{{1}}}", is, if we want to preserve the parameter, not edited by editing the template but by editing the template call, even though the rendered page and its edit links do not automatically show that. Some explanatory text and/or an extra edit link can be useful. In this case, to edit "{{{1}}}" we have to edit the template tag on the page calling the template.
