Rosetta Code:Village Pump/Link to task-section

Link to task-section
This is a particular discussion thread among many which consider Rosetta Code.

Summary

Change task-template, to create a link to the first section of page

Discussion

Currently, the very first section of task-pages have no edit-link.
So, to make edits there (e.g. to add a new category), the whole page has to be edited.
This is unfortunate, because most task-pages are quite big.

I made an attempt to do this, see Template:Task2.
For testing, I'm using one of the shorter and less popular tasks, Create a file on magnetic tape

This gets a link and header "(Task)" at the top of the contents, but the edit-link points to the template.

Also, it would be nice to give that link the number 0, so the link to the first solution gets the number 1.

That looks pretty ugly and it moves the task box (on the right) to a weird place. What was wrong with my suggestion from before that seems to have been erased? Just click the edit link on the first section and then add your desired categories above the ==Header==. --Mwn3d (talk) 01:11, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

FYI, You can edit text before the first section by editing the first section, then changing the &section=1 part of the URL to &section=0. (from Wikipedia's help).

Also, you can reposition the contents with __TOC__. But that's a lot of mucking just to get an edit link IMO. —dchapes (talk | contribs) 06:31, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Ok, editing the first section, and changing the URL to use &section=0 does what I was after.
Thanks for that tip ! --Hajo (talk) 15:25, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
