--- Comment #14 from Timeshifter <[email protected]> ---
I removed the URL in the description because it does not illustrate anything. 

I had no idea until today that a list of templates used in a section existed. I
knew only of the full page list. I did not know that a preview of a section
edit would show a list of templates used in the section.

It is important to fix this because with the roll-out of the VisualEditor (VE)
there is a huge necessity to simplify finding the stuff that VE can't edit. 

VE will more than likely have "edit source" links or icons for every section.
People will be using those links all the time in order to try to edit or move
around those templates in article sections. 

Transcluded templates in those sections will not be easily accessible to many
editors due to the common lack of knowledge about how to get to them. I have
tens of thousands of edits on Wikipedia and always went to the full-page list
to find them. That is difficult. 

Concerning editing after VE is implemented there are multiple bug requests for
ease of access to wikitext source editing of sections and templates in
sections. See these discussions (or find them in the archives):
[[Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback#Impossible_to_edit_sections_with_wikitext]]
[[Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback#Now_unable_to_edit_sections_by_old_method]]

See 
* Bug 49665 - VisualEditor: Provide a get-me-into-the-wikitext-editor link on
every header.
* Bug 49666 - VisualEditor: Display both [edit] and [edit source] on every
header.
* Bug 48429 - VisualEditor: Support editing of sections inside a page.
