=== ''sect'' === Many article message templates begin with the text '''This article ...''' and it is often desirable that this wording change to '''This section ...''' if the template is used on a section instead. The value of this parameter will replace the word "article". Various possibilities for use include: {{para|sect|list}}, {{para|sect|table}}, {{para|sect|"In popular culture" material}}, etc. {{em|If using this feature, be sure to remove the first two words ("This article") from the template's text, otherwise it will be duplicated.}} A common way to facilitate this functionality is to pass {{para|sect|<nowiki>{{{1|}}}</nowiki>}}. This will allow editors to type <kbd>section</kbd>, for example, as the first unnamed parameter of the template to change the wording. For example, <pre >{{tlx|Advert|section}}</pre> produces: <pre>{{Advert|section|date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}</pre > Another approach is to use {{tlx|Yesno}} to parse the value for a positive, and pass {{para|sect|section}} if true. {{em|These approaches can be combined}}, and this is recommended. The following ready-to-use code: {{block indent|1=<code><nowiki>| sect = {{#ifeq:{{yesno|def=|1={{{sect|{{{section}}}}}} }}|yes|section|{{{sect|{{{section|{{{1|}}}}}}}}} }}</nowiki></code>}} enables the following: * Any positive value that {{tlx|Yesno}} can detect will be used with the named parameter in the ambox-based template to get "section" instead of "article": {{para|section|y}}, {{para|sect|True}}, etc. It is recommended to allow both {{para|sect}} and {{para|section}} so that editors do not have to guess which one will work. The sample code above does this for you. * Any other value passed, in any manner, will replace "article": {{para||section and its subsections}}, {{para|1|list}}, {{para|sect|section}}, {{para|section|table}}, etc. It is also advisable to restrict use of the {{para|small}} parameter so that it is made contingent upon the template being applied to a section (or whatever) rather than the whole article, to prevent the small version of the template being used at the top of the article where it would be inconsistent with other article-wide cleanup/dispute banners: {{block indent|1=<code><nowiki>| small = {{#if:{{{sect|{{{section|{{{1|}}}}}}}}}|{{#if:{{{small|{{{left|}}}}}}|left}} }}</nowiki></code>}} (In this case, any value of {{para|small}} or {{para|left}} will trigger the small, left display, as long as some value of {{para|sect}} or one of its aliases in that template has also been provided.) This code can be copy-pasted and used with the above code block.
