This is a documentation subpage for Template:ExcerptHeaderLevel. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template uses Lua: Module:ExcerptHeaderLevel

Transcludes a section from another page and adjusts heading levels in the excerpt.

• 1 or page – source page
• 2 or section – exact section heading to transclude
• top-header-level – absolute level for the inserted top heading
  • child headings are adjusted automatically relative to it
  • if set, shift, higher, and lower are ignored
• shift / higher / lower – relative heading adjustment when top-header-level is not set
• include-top-header – whether to include the transcluded section heading
  • default: yes

See it in action at Operation Salvo#Protests.

{{ExcerptHeaderLevel|Example article|History}}

Transcludes the section with its default heading behavior.

{{ExcerptHeaderLevel|Example article|History|top-header-level=2}}

Sets the inserted section heading to level 2 and adjusts child headings relative to it.

{{ExcerptHeaderLevel|Example article|History|include-top-header=no}}

Transcludes only the section contents, without the section heading itself.

{{ExcerptHeaderLevel|Example article|History|lower=1}}

Useful when the excerpt needs to sit one level deeper in the destination page.

{{ExcerptHeaderLevel|Example article|History|higher=1}}

Useful when the excerpted headings are too deep relative to the destination page.

{{ExcerptHeaderLevel|Example article|History|shift=1}}

Equivalent to:

{{ExcerptHeaderLevel|Example article|History|lower=1}}

And:

{{ExcerptHeaderLevel|Example article|History|shift=-1}}

Equivalent to:

{{ExcerptHeaderLevel|Example article|History|higher=1}}

{{ExcerptHeaderLevel
|Government attacks on journalists during the Trump presidencies
|2016–2017: Transition between Barack Obama and Donald Trump's presidencies
|top-header-level=2
|include-top-header=yes
}}

Useful when the destination page needs the transcluded section heading at a specific level, with all child headings following automatically.

{{ExcerptHeaderLevel
|Government attacks on journalists during the Trump presidencies
|2016–2017: Transition between Barack Obama and Donald Trump's presidencies
|lower=1
|include-top-header=yes
}}

Useful when you just want to shift the excerpted heading structure down by one level without setting an absolute top heading level.
