“ It's not so common to need to read so many sections at the same time. And with the Social Security Act 2018 (Version 56) /Part 1 page, it's barely an inconvenience.
A reader will never need to flip between 400 pages, you don't read entire legislative documents, you read the sections you need. But if they do, the fantastic thing with transclusion is you can do something like this: Pensions Act 1849/Whole vs Pensions Act 1849/Section 2. ”

“ That said, we do have means to add ToC through use of templates see Category:TOC templates. These would be added to the Notes section, and often link to various components. Quite useful for adding to Indexes when we want to get to specific letters. So while we would not do ToC for all works, if you can present a case for a specific work, then we always happy to see how that will aid navigation, etc. To also note that many 19thC works have chapter ToC as part of their design, do feel that you can add anchors to those, though I haven't seen that approach widely taken. ”

“ Subst'ing ref is useful when you have other subst: inside it or when you need to add name of follow, as it just becomes {{#tag:ref|texttexttext|follow=yourref}} adn if you are subst;'ing other tings inside the ref, then it just works. ”

“ No luck (feel free to delete that template, I don't think I can.)
Seems magic words might resolve after the page index runs?
Just means when going and updating different versions of the same section, it'll be easier because it's one less thing to update. Supertrinko (talk) 02:55, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
@Supertrinko: No, that won't work. And it's not desirable in general either, since the Index: usually has a different name than the page it is transcluded on. If you have a specific work with a lot of subpages we can investigate other ways to lighten the load (bot creation etc.) . ”

“ Unfortunately, transclusion doesn't seem to work on one page from another page.
Is there a work-around I could use? If this were just a static document, then just repeating the TOC would be fine, but legislation is a living document, it gets amended, repealed, and generally changed many many times. So making things easier now by having the sub-TOC sections auto-update with the first will save time and edits.Supertrinko (talk) 21:09, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
@Supertrinko: We capture legislation at a point in time, rather than continually update a file. Each amendment should be on its own page. ”

“ See Wikisource:Scriptorium/Archives/2010-11#Easy_LST. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 02:49, 13 May 2013 (UTC) Table of contents? It looks like transcluding from the Page namespace fails to produce a Mediawiki table of contents. Here is a test case at User:Jerome Charles Potts/draft/test ; if you examine the source HTML, you can search for the various TOC. I added the __FORCETOC__ "magic word", but that too failed. ”
