			=== Technical details ===

			If you intend to use <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Tables wikitables]</span> as parameter values in this template, then you need to know this:

			<span class="plainlinks">[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Templates Templates]</span> have a problem handling parameter data that contains pipes "<code>\|</code>", unless the pipe is inside another template <code><nowiki>{{name \| param1 }}</nowiki></code>, or inside a piped link <code><nowiki>[[Help:Template \| help]]</nowiki></code>. Therefore templates can not handle wikitables as input, unless you escape them by using the '''<nowiki>{{!}}</nowiki>''' magic word (parser function - see: <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Magic_words#Other Help:Magic words#Other]</span>). This makes it hard to use wikitables as parameters in templates. Instead, the usual solution is to use [[Wikipedia:Help:Table#Other_table_syntax \| HTML wikimarkup]] for the table code, which is more robust.

			'''''Note:''' [[Template:!]] functionality was replaced in MediaWiki version 1.24 by the '''<nowiki>{{!}}</nowiki>''' magic word, and the template is ignored when using it.''

			==== Other Usage ====

			The author gave a few other examples in his [http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/User:Sanbeg/Test test page], using an extra <code>ns =</code> parameter after the SECTIONNUMBER, to modify which namespace the PAGENAME belongs to, so it doesn't need to be included.

			An example of the previous <code>User:John/Test_Article</code> PAGENAME done this way would be:

			<code><nowiki>{{sec \| John/Test_Article \| 1 \| ns = User}}</nowiki></code>

			* In this case there isn't much improvement (more confusing even), since the username still needs to be included, but it may be useful for the Template namespace, or others.


			One other example he gave didn't use this template. Only the markup in the source article page, and transclusion with extra parameters.

			Still using the '''Test_Article''' in the example above as a source, with the example code:

			<code><nowiki>{{Test_Article \| sec1 = }}</nowiki></code>

			This transcludes everything except section 1 ('''sec1'''), since the contents of that section are unset by the empty parameter value given.

			'''Result: ''' <code>This is the second section</code>

			* This is basically how the template works anyway, since it transcludes all sections, then empties the value of all that aren't selected.


			This also can be used to replace individual sections of the whole transcluded article page, by supplying a new value for each parameter.

			E.g., <code><nowiki>{{Test_Article \| sec1 = Hello World!}}</nowiki></code> adds <code>Hello World!</code> before also transcluding <code>This is the second section</code>.


			With source article pages that have many sections set up this way, several can be left out or replaced. If '''Test_Article_2''' has 3 or more sections marked the same as the original '''Test_Article''', this can be demonstrated with the following example:

			<code><nowiki>{{Test_Article \| sec1 = Hello World! \| sec3 = }}</nowiki></code>

			* This would add <code>Hello World!</code> instead of section 1, transclude section 2 normally with <code>This is the second section</code>, skip transcluding section 3, and then transclude whatever other sections come after that normally.
