Description
This template uses a numerical index to extract a page section (without the header). It is especially useful for CGI UnGames, where the {{Get}} template uses numbers anyway.
For other purposes, editors may be more interested in an alternative method using section titles instead.
Usage
{{ShowSec|page|section number}}
| Section number | Result |
|---|---|
| 0 | Displays the section of the page prior to the first header |
| -1 | Displays the last section of the page (-2 cannot be used to display the second last section, and so on) |
| no number input | Treated as though it were section 0 |

Alternative
Described by WP:SELECTIVETRANSCLUSION, the syntax is {{#section-h:page|section name}}. If we assume the first section of Uncyclopedia:How To Be Funny And Not Just Stupid is entitled "Understand the big picture", these two statements are equivalent:
{{ShowSec|UN:HTBFANJS|1}}{{#section-h:UN:HTBFANJS|Understand the big picture}}
Notice that a colon separates section-h from the page name, not a pipe.
