This template inserts a Table of Contents which omits subheadings beyond a certain depth. The table obeys the same layout rules as the __TOC__ magic word. Omitted sections still have section edit links in the article body; the main use for this template is situations where you want section edit links for ease of editing but don't want to clutter the table of contents.
Usage
{{TOC limit}}
The template defaults to including only the first- and second-level headings, i.e. those numbered "1" and "1.1" in the TOC.
You can specify a different limit by adding a header level:
{{TOC limit|4}}
4 allows for third-level headings, i.e. "1.1.1", but omits any subheadings below that from the TOC.
The template works by hiding the lower levels with CSS. See MediaWiki:Common.css.
A suggested alternative is Template:Tl.
TOC levels versus wikitext header levels
The heading levels in the TOC normally correspond to the header levels in the wikitext, so a "== Level-2 header ==" will normally generate the first-level ("1") TOC headings, a "=== Level-3 header ===" will normally generate the second-level ("1.1") TOC headings, and so on. This correspondence does not hold if the page contains "= Level-1 headers =" or skips header levels. For example, wikitext like this:
== Level-2 heading (A) == === Level-3 heading (B) === == Level-2 heading (C) == ====== Level-6 heading (D) ====== = Level-1 heading (E) = == Level-2 heading (F) == === Level-3 heading (G) ===
will generate a TOC like this:
Contents
|
Using {{TOC limit}} on this page would not hide header D, because even though it is a level-6 heading it is shown at the second level in the TOC. And it would hide header G even though it is a level-3 heading just like header B, because header G is shown at the third level in the TOC while header B is shown at the second level.
Conflicts
This template does not interact well with the Template:Tl, Template:Tl, Template:Tl templates. To achieve the correct effect, use those with a limit parameter. For example, Template:Tlx has the effect that Template:Tlx and Template:Tlx would have—if they worked together.
