Manual:Extension/NumberHeadings

What are numbered headings?

MediaWiki does not display heading numbers for individual sections by default. If you want your wiki to use heading numbers, you can enable this in the Configuration Manager.

Configuration

Under "Content structuring", select the checkbox for NumberHeadings.

• Enable heading numbering: Displays the numbering from the table of contents before the section headings on a page.

  

  Number headings

  

  Activated heading numbers

Adjsut the scope

With this configuration setting enabled, numbered headings will be activated for the entire wiki.

Since this is not always appropriate in some namespaces or on some pages, you can override the setting via MediaWiki:Common.css.

/*Hide heading numbers */
.ns-3020 .mw-headline-number, /*Hide in namespace 3020 (find ID via namespace management)*/
.ns-3004 .mw-headline-number,
.ns-3006 .mw-headline-number,
.ns-3008 .mw-headline-number,
.ns-3010 .mw-headline-number,
.page-Terminology .mw-headline-number /*Hide on page "Terminology" (find page name via source code)*/

     {
       display:none
     }

Open the page source info via the browser context menu.

Important! Be aware of possible configuration overlaps with the Chapter numbering of page sections in books.
