Very short sections and subsections clutter an article with headings and inhibit the flow of the prose. Short paragraphs and single sentences generally do not warrant their own subheadings. Headings follow a six-level hierarchy, starting at 1 and ending at 6. The level of the heading is defined by the number of equals signs on each side of the ...
The = through ===== markup are headings for the sections with which they are associated. A single = is styled as the article title and should not be used within an article.

Tagging a (hexa)decimal code with the template {} will enable future editors to review the page, and to Unicodify the character if it is included in future expansions of Unicode. This happened, for example, at strident vowel, where a non-Unicode symbol for the sound was used in the literature and added to the PUA of SIL's IPA fonts. Unicode ...
It appears to be needless. I've also noticed that many published, scholarly books avoid the use of articles in chapter/section headings. For example, I'm using a book by Myron A. Marty for an article I'm working on at the moment. Marty's book is an historical analysis of the sixties in the U.S.
