Help:TOC

If an article contains more than three headings, a Table Of Contents (TOC) will normally be created automatically.

Suppress automatic numbering

MediaWiki automatically numbers the items in the TOC. To change this behavior, paste the following wherever you want the table to be:

<div class="noautonum">__TOC__</div>

Removing TOC

The underscores here are doubled: (__), on both sides.

If, for whatever reason, a TOC isn't wanted, it can be removed (switched off) by including when editing: __NOTOC__ (meaning "No table of contents"). It is usually put at the top of the page, although the position in this case hardly makes a difference in the end.

Adding TOC manually

If __FORCETOC__ is used, then a TOC will occur before the first heading, even if there are three or fewer headings.

Similarly, if __TOC__ is used, then a TOC will occur at the point where __TOC__ is placed even if there are three or fewer headings. Thus, you can place the TOC at any point vertically or horizontally or, for example, in a table cell.

NB: "__TOC__" overrides __NOTOC__".

In a table

See the main article on this topic: Help:Tables

The TOC can be forced into a floating table on the right hand of the screen with the code below:

{| align="right"
| __TOC__
|}

which produces:
