==Section numbers==
Hi,
Is the automatic numbering of sections a recent addition, added with 1.3, or is it maybe a skin attribute? I never noticed it before, and I don't think it's always useful.
For example [[Specials_(album)]] doesn't really benefit from having its two sections numbered. Is there anyway to disable this feature? I've looked wherever I could think to look about this, but didn't find anything about it.

:It's in preferences.  Under Misc., there's an option to auto-number entries in the table of contents that can be turned on or off. [[User:Meelar|[[User:Meelar|Meelar]] [[User talk:Meelar|(talk)]]]] 12:50, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)

: You mean the inability of being able to edit section 0 (all text up to the first header)? (since no autotoc is generated on that article) Yes, this is a new "feature" with 1.3 ;) I think a bug report was submitted, don't know what happened to it yet. Have a look at [[User:TreyHarris]]'s user page, there's a hack (nice, but still a hack) to edit section 0.
: As to section numbers in an automatic TOC - that can't be changed. [[User:Dysprosia|Dysprosia]] 12:52, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)
:: Actually, it's the issue that Meelar was talking about that I was referring to, and this is indeed switchable with user preferences. Thanks to all of you, Ben
