When a section is a summary of another article that provides a full exposition of the section, a link to the other article should appear immediately under the section heading. You can use the {{ Main }} template to generate a "Main article" link, in Wikipedia's "hatnote" style.
The main headings in the article are second level headings, defined with two equals signs in the wikitext. You never need to use the top-level heading style, defined with one equals sign, as it is reserved for article titles.
Please do not use a "level one" heading (only one equals sign on each side, i.e.: =Heading=). This would cause a section heading as large as the page title at the top of the page. Heading names of sections (including subsections) should be unique on a page. Using the same heading more than once on a page causes problems:
In some older skins, a navigable table of contents appears automatically just after the lead if an article has at least four section headings. If the topic of a section is covered in more detail in a dedicated article (see Wikipedia:Summary style), insert {{main|Article name}} or {{further|Article name}} immediately under the section heading.

This template is used to create examples of section heading wiki markup in help and similar pages and should NOT be used in articles. Fake headings do not appear in the table of contents. They are styled to appear the same as the default heading styles in the Vector skin, and will not be influenced by custom CSS or skins.

Headings are styled through CSS and add an [edit] link. See this section for the relevant CSS. Four or more headings cause a table of contents to be generated automatically. Do not use any markup after the final heading markup – this will either break the heading, or will cause the heading to not be included in an edit summary.
