==Sections and table of contents==
Although the lead section is considered a [[Wikipedia:Section|section]], it has no section [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings)|heading]]; an "Introduction" headline should not be added at the beginning of an article. When displayed, the optional table of contents generally appears between the lead section and the first section heading (though this can be changed, see ''[[WP:TOC]]'').
 
Because editing the lead section can be cumbersome in huge articles, (because there's no edit link for this section), a trick allows editing the lead section separate from the rest of the article: Click "edit" for any section and , in the resulting [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]], replace the trailing <tt>&amp;section=</tt>'''n''' with <tt>&amp;section='''0'''</tt>.
