The result of the discussion was keep. There is no prejudice against (and some push for) making this template subst-only, but if that is reverted please discuss further on the template's talk page before returning here. Primefac ( talk) 01:18, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
The actual character § should be used instead of this template. This character is easily available on the "Insert" pull-down menu at the bottom of the desktop version of the edit box on every article. This template displays an image, which causes problems when trying to copy-and-paste or search, and also causes the character to be misaligned and not necessarily match the surrounding font. FTR, the § character is used 187377 times in article space (as of the 2020-10-20 database dump) and this template is currently transcluded 163 times. For making tooltips for text instead of images, we have {{ hover title}} and {{ abbr}}. -- Beland ( talk) 18:03, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
{{abbr}}
is for marking up abbreviations, not "making tooltips".]
