Template:TOClimit
This template inserts a Table of Contents which omits subheadings beyond a certain depth. The table obeys the same layout rules as the __TOC__ magic word. Omitted sections still have section edit links in the article body; the main use for this template is situations where you want section edit links for ease of editing but don't want to clutter the table of contents.
Usage
{{TOClimit}}
The template defaults to including only the first- and second-level headings, e.g. those numbered "1" and "1.1" in the TOC.
You can specify a different limit by adding a header level:
{{TOClimit|4}}
4 allows for third-level headings, e.g. "1.1.1", but omits any subheadings below that from the TOC.
The template works by hiding the lower levels with CSS. See MediaWiki:Common.css.
