Would it be possible to run a search on the full text of Wikipedias for lines that start and end with "==", "===", "====", and lines that start with ";", then make a list of those strings, and count the number of times that each title appears in the list?

Subject: [Wikitech-l] statistics about frequent section titles
To: Wikimedia developers <wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org>
Hi,
Did anybody ever try to collect statistics about frequent section titles in
Wikimedia projects?
For Wikipedia, for example, titles such as "Biography", "Early life",
"Bibliography", "External links", "References", "History", etc., appear in
a lot of articles, and their counterparts appear in a lot of languages.
There are probably similar things in Wikivoyage, Wiktionary and possibly
other projects.
Did anybody ever try to collect statistics of the most frequent section
titles in each language and project?
