<p>New template: optional explicit numbered-heading helper</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&lt;span class=&quot;edfm-section-number&quot;&gt;{{{1}}}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;edfm-section-sep&quot;&gt; // &lt;/span&gt;&lt;noinclude&gt;<br /> == Usage ==<br /> Optional. Numbering major (&lt;code&gt;==&lt;/code&gt;) section headings is a<br /> per-page/per-editor choice, not a site-wide default — most headings should<br /> keep using the automatic &lt;code&gt;// &lt;/code&gt; prefix that<br /> [[MediaWiki:Common.css]] already adds to every &lt;code&gt;h2&lt;/code&gt;. Use this<br /> template only on pages where explicit numbering genuinely helps navigation<br /> (e.g. a long reference page with many top-level sections):<br /> <br /> &lt;pre&gt;== {{Section number|01}}Star systems, navigation and exploration ==&lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> Renders as &quot;&lt;code&gt;01 // Star systems, navigation and exploration&lt;/code&gt;&quot;,<br /> with &quot;01 //&quot; in the orange technical accent and the rest of the heading in<br /> the normal bright heading colour. Using this template on a heading<br /> automatically suppresses the usual automatic &quot;&lt;code&gt;// &lt;/code&gt;&quot; prefix on<br /> that heading (so they don&#039;t double up) — see the &lt;code&gt;:has()&lt;/code&gt; rule<br /> in [[MediaWiki:Common.css]].<br /> <br /> [[Category:Templates]]<br /> &lt;/noinclude&gt;</div>
