Please take TOCs out of this bunch. Precisely because the information 
you need to find on the page is likely to be out of your screen and far 
from your sight, the TOC is your only chance to reach it quickly and 
easily (not to mention linking it). The automatically and super-easily 
created TOC is one of the most useful features of MediaWiki and one that 
even many modern rich text editors can still envy.
