Thread:Project:Support desk/Building Templates that Can Be Edited Uniquely/reply

Are you using an edit link next to a section heading? If so, that edit link is for the page most likely to edit that section: the template. The section is not present in the article, thus us not editable via section. There's a magic word that you can add to the template to hide the section edit links, but I do not remember what it is. It also may be desirable to "substitute" the template which, unlike the default "transclusion", puts the actual content of the template into the article, thus allowing section editing to affect the article rather than template.
