<div style="color:red">'''Please note that as of 28th February 2011 this template is effectively deprecated.'''</div> Its functionality is now a part of our CSS style sheet, and therefore happens automatically. '''This template should no longer be used in the main namespace — that is, on "regular" articles.''' | |||
Nevertheless, in other namespaces, you ''may'' wish to use this template when you have a page with less than the minimum number of sections to trigger an automatic TOC. This is especially useful in '''forum conversations''', where very ''long'' discussions typically have very ''few'' sections. If you put {{tl|big toc}} at the top of the forum page, you'll get a bit of navigational help that the system otherwise wouldn't provide. | |||
'''To reiterate, however, please don't use with normal articles in the main namespace.''' If an ''article'' has only two sections, for example, it doesn't deserve a TOC. | |||
