I have asked a feature to the MediaWIki a couple of weeks ago (not on this list). I wanted to be able to enable the header numbering feature on a per article basis. (Usually this is a per user setting).
Last weekend I thought myself comfertable enough with the MW code to hack my own solution for this (a new magic word).
This magic word (__NUMBERHEADINGS__) will enable heading numbers for the specific article, so that all headers (between the '=' marks) get numbered. This is usefull for more formal kind of documents or reports.
Is anyone interested in these patches? If so, please let met know and I'll post somewhere (this list, MW repository, by E-mail, ...). -- ---- Met vriendelijke groeten / With kind regards Hans Voss --------------------------------------- skype: hans.voss google talk enabled I am looking for people to invite to Gmail.

Hi Hans,
If no one from the mw core team wants the patch, feel free to make use of the mediawiki-agora area on sf that I am trying to build some momentum around.
It is intended to be a central place for homeless mw code.
If you want to begin using this area, just send me your sourceforge user name and I will make you a developer.
best, /Jonah

There are lots of "personal" patches (not adopted into the code base) posted in "user" pages on the Meta wiki. That seems like a good wiki-ish solution, a central location for collaboration with a minimum of bureaucracy (even less than sourceforge).

I would recommend using the www.mediawiki.org wiki from here out rather than meta; meta's a bit cluttered and should aim more for Wikimedia Foundation projects stuff than to the software.

I have posted the patch on my userpage on mediawiki: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Hvoss and as a response to the bug I created earlier in Bugzilla bugnumber: 3254 (http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3254)

Brion, could you please explain the use of the word 'meta' in your reply below? For example, <snip> meta's a bit cluttered and should aim <snip>

He means the wikimedia meta web site http://meta.wikimedia.org
Which is a wiki used for discussion of various aspects of the wikimedia projects, which include the mediawiki software as well as wikipedia, wikibooks, wikitravel etc.
The mediawiki specific wiki at http://www.mediawiki.org/
is newer and focuses directly on the mediawiki software.

Hello Hans,
Please post your patch on http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/ using keywords 'need-review' and 'patch'. Someone will have a look at it and maybe it will be added in the main code (not sure it will be for 1.5 though as I think its feature frozen).
cheers,
