This is a special-purpose variant of {{section link}} for linking from a talk page to the corresponding article. It does not display the article name, but infers it from the talk page it is used on. {{article link|Section}} expands to {{section link|{{ARTICLEPAGENAME}}|Section|nopage=y}} and renders as § Section.

It may also be accessed via the shortcut {{alink}}. It supports multiple sections (up to 8), just like {{section link}}, e.g. {{alink|One|Two|Three|Four|Five}} → §§ One, Two, Three, Four, and Five.

This is useful for creating a clickable link to a particular section in an article as part of talk page discussions.

It may also be used within an article. {{slink|​|Section}} may be replaced by {{alink|Section}}, saving one | symbol.
