{{{1}}} //

Usage

Optional. Numbering major (==) section headings is a per-page/per-editor choice, not a site-wide default — most headings should keep using the automatic // prefix that MediaWiki:Common.css already adds to every h2. Use this template only on pages where explicit numbering genuinely helps navigation (e.g. a long reference page with many top-level sections):

== {{Section number|01}}Star systems, navigation and exploration ==

Renders as "01 // Star systems, navigation and exploration", with "01 //" in the orange technical accent and the rest of the heading in the normal bright heading colour. Using this template on a heading automatically suppresses the usual automatic "// " prefix on that heading (so they don't double up) — see the :has() rule in MediaWiki:Common.css.
