When creating sections like: ==Überschrift (german for "heading")== mediawiki produces the following code in HTML: <pre> <h2> <span class="mw-headline" id=".C3.9Cberschrift">Überschrift</span></h2> </pre> * id=".C3.9Cberschrift" is clearly wrong (id and name attributes must begin with a letter) * it's hard to target such IDs with css * Why create a span with an ID in the first place? An element with an id should only exist once in a html document; it cannot be guaranteed that users don't create equal sections (that will lead to multiple IDs with the same name)
Stupid me, the IDs are numbered consecutively, forget that part, sorry.
