You can get section titles (and hierarchy) directly from the API, though I don't know if this approach scales the way you need it to: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&page=Albania&prop=se...

Yes, that's the idea more or less, but I'm not sure that our search engine is able to search for headings, though I might be wrong. I suspect, however, that it will be required to process dumps article by article (or at least a random sample), and in big projects this could be extremely time consuming.But maybe there's a faster way of which I am not aware?

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?

Cross-posting this request to wiki-research-l. Anyone have data on frequently used section titles in articles (any language), or know of datasets/publications that examined this?
I'm not aware of any off the top of my head, Amir.

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?
