This template is meant to save the editors from writing the same thing twice. For example, instead of the following:
[[History of IBM#1969: Antitrust, the Unbundling of software and services|§ 1969: Antitrust, the Unbundling of software and services]]
within Talk:History of IBM, or[[#1969: Antitrust, the Unbundling of software and services|§ 1969: Antitrust, the Unbundling of software and services]]
within History of IBM article...you can write:
{{Article section|1969: Antitrust, the Unbundling of software and services}}
...which is much shorter and does not require you to search for the section mark character.
Both generate:
