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.
