You have just grabbed the page's title to place a link on another page, but now you want to add a section title to it to create a section link, but the copy cache is already full.

Copy/paste the title into the search box, followed by a "#" Copy/paste the section title after the "#" Enclose in double square brackets and copy/paste the whole string to the page you wish to edit.
