Section headings[edit]

The heading levels in this article may have been deliberately chosen, but that doesn't change the fact that they are incorrect. The Manual of Style clearly instructs us that "Headings should be nested sequentially, starting with level 2 (==), then level 3 (===) and so on... neither using random heading levels (e.g. selected for emphasis, which is not the purpose of headings), nor skipping parts of the sequence." —SW— ^speak 22:51, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

MOS is a guideline, not an unbreakable instruction almost-instinct 09:30, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

How is that a reasonable response? Sure, exceptions to the MOS are possible, but not without good reason. What is the good reason? Because you personally don't like the font style/size of the level 3 header? That is not a good reason. The quoted passage of the MOS specifically says not to use "random heading levels (e.g. selected for emphasis, which is not the purpose of headings)". It goes out of its way to assert that heading levels are not a stylistic choice. The reason that heading levels are intended to be strictly hierarchical with no skipping is for accessibility reasons. Blind people with screen readers rely on headings to navigate the page. A level 2 header followed by a level 4 header might cause a screen reader to skip over the section with the level 4 heading, and the user would never know it existed. Now, do you have a good reason to ignore the MOS in this case? —SW— ^confabulate 14:51, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I was delighted to find a way of rejigging the text so that these headings are in level 4 and yet don't skip level 3, thus innoculating the article from the attention of your joy-spreading bot almost-instinct 15:25, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

PS a touch more charm wouldn't harm anyone. So long, almost-instinct 15:29, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I hope that the changes I've made satify everyone. Viva-Verdi (talk) 19:41, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
