Description Xudong Yang 2008-07-21 07:49:16 UTC 
Current: The URL parameter "section=" only accepts the number of the section to edit as its value, ie. "?action=edit&section=7" will work.

Proposed: The said parameter should accept the name of the section as well, or at least in a new form. For example, if a page's content is the following:

--------------------------------------
Preface.
==The First Section==
Some blah blah
==The Second Section==
===Small===
eww.
--------------------------------------

"?action=edit&section=Small" will be equivalent to "?action=edit&section=3". Or alternatively (in order to disambiguate), "?action=edit&sectionname=Small" will work.
