Ok, this is just a small suggestion, but would allow people use the smaller headers properly. Very few people use the biggest header (like in =title=) and the smaller headers (like in =====section=====) and even some mediawiki projects suggest not use it. In fact only 2 headers are really useful: ==header2== and ===header3=== The reason, I believe, is that the =1st header= get confused with the ==2nd header== and the smaller ones get confused with the ===3rd header=== and '''bold texts'''. Although they aren't used, hierarchical headers are useful (or should be), specially in wikimedia. So I suggest a small but relevant change in rendering to put the smaller titles in (a little more) evidence. I have some ideas. - use a small indentation in all sections of smaller headers (beginning in the ====4th header====) - underline smaller headers (in the same way of bigger headers), beginning in the ===3rd header=== , and indent it (the line) to not get confused with the biggest headers. - put a number (as in "1.5.2.3 4th header") in the headers
What do you mean by putting a number in the headers?
Switch on numbered headings in user preferences.
Changes to style will probably not be made to existing skins without compelling reason.
