{{Lua|Module:Multi-section link}}<br />
<br />
This module, {{tl|multi-section link}}, or its shortcut, {{tl|mslink}}, makes a link to a section, listing multiple nested section names. The first parameter is the page name, and subsequent parameters are section names. The last section name is the one that is actually linked to.<br />
<br />
== Syntax ==<br />
<br />
&#123;&#123;multi-section link&#124;''page''&#124;''section 1''&#124;''section 2''&#124;...&#125;&#125;<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
<br />
It's easiest to demonstrate this template's use with a concrete example.<br />
<br />
Say you want a nicely formatted link to [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Names and titles]]. You could use {{tlx|section link|Wikipedia:Manual of Style|Names and titles}} to give you {{section link|Wikipedia:Manual of Style|Names and titles}}, but with this it is not very clear what the "Names and titles" section is referring to. {{tl|Multi-section link}} solves this problem by allowing you to specify the intermediate section names, giving readers more context.<br />
<br />
* <code><nowiki>{{multi-section link|Wikipedia:Manual of Style|Punctuation|Quotation marks|Names and titles}}</nowiki></code> &rarr; {{multi-section link|Wikipedia:Manual of Style|Punctuation|Quotation marks|Names and titles}}<br />
<br />
== Examples ==<br />
<br />
* <code><nowiki>{{multi-section link|Foo}}</nowiki></code> &rarr; {{multi-section link|Foo}}<br />
* <code><nowiki>{{multi-section link|Foo|Bar}}</nowiki></code> &rarr; {{multi-section link|Foo|Bar}}<br />
* <code><nowiki>{{multi-section link|Foo|Bar|Baz}}</nowiki></code> &rarr; {{multi-section link|Foo|Bar|Baz}}<br />
* <code><nowiki>{{multi-section link|Foo|Bar|Baz|Qux}}</nowiki></code> &rarr; {{multi-section link|Foo|Bar|Baz|Qux}}<br />
