History

This script is a fork of User:Enterprisey/copy-section-link, which was inspired by User:Bility/copySectionLink. Forking was necessary due to changes in HTML layout, which broke Enterprisey's version. This fork also includes fixes by User:The Earwig, and a fix curly braces in section headings.
