Forum:Table of contents

I noticed that pages do not always have a table of contents when multiple sections are present. Also, sections are not always numbered. My impression is that the server evaluates the number of sections to decide these things? Am I correct? I do not see any codes to add the table of contents section. So I am left with little else.

 * In your preferences there is an option: "[ ] Show table of contents (for pages with more than 3 headings)". From this it can be deduced that 3 sections are needed before a Table of Contents shows. However, see m:Help:Magic_words for more options. --Splarka (talk) 03:32, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

In the preferences for the user or the wiki? I don't think I have access to the later yet. How do I test that? Will 04:48, 7 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Userprefs... but if you need to control the TOC on the page. Like listed on Splarka's link will make it so none will ever show up,  will make it always show up no matter the number, and  overrides  and makes it so that the TOC shows up in that location. Otherwise if the User has it on in the preferences the TOC shows up when there are more than 3 sections on the page. Dantman (Talk) 05:05, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
