Hello,
I have been a WP editor since 2006. I hope you can help me. For some reason I no longer have Section Heading titles showing in the Articles. This is true of all Headings including the one that carries the Article subject's name. When there is a Table of Contents, it appears fine and, when I click on a particular Section, it goes to that Section, but all that is there is a straight line separating the Sections. There is also no button to edit a Section. If I edit the page and remove the "== ==" markers from the Section Titles, the Title then shows up, but not as a Section Heading. Also, I don't have any Date separators on my Want List. This started 2 days ago. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Marc Riddell [[User:Michael David]]

Do you have the problem logged in and logged out? Do you have the problem in a specific web browser or in multiple web browsers?
This mailing list (wikitech-l) isn't the best forum for debugging issues like this. IRC or a village pump are usually much better forums for this type of problem.[1][2]
Please reply to me off-list or post to the village pump in order to keep traffic on this list more focused. :-)

This may be related to enwiki's recent addition of overflow:hidden to Common.css for header elements, which was also done to MediaWiki's stylesheets in r79087 and r79091. See also bug 26449.

Which browser are you using ? (ie. Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome). And which version of that browser ?
What kind of system do you run this browser on ? (ie. Apple Mac, Windows, Linux etc.)
These details are important, without them it's impossible to solve your problem as many people don't have this problem.
I doubt the addition of overflow:hidden has this consequence since that has been broadly tested in all kinds of browsers and has been default on several wikis for a long while.

IIRC, overflow: hidden does indeed cause this issue on at least one very old browser, maybe IE5/Mac. I vaguely recall it being tried but reverted sometime several years ago. If memory serves and IE5/Mac is the issue, of course, we should just ignore it, because it would be crazy to try supporting it.

Indeed, if Marc Riddell is using IE5/Mac then we can't help but to say that you should switch to a more recent browser, because MediaWIki has dropped support for it. Which doesn't mean everything has to brake. There are plenty of people among the developers who know especially much about the behaviour of older browsers and will try to implement proper fallbacks where possible.
But overflow:hidden fixes many issues, and shows no problems in any of the supported browsers (not even IE6).

He is indeed using IE5 for Mac.
I guess that adding h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 { overflow: visible; }
to his monobook.css will fix it. Do we have some CSS trick to target IE5 Mac? Removing the headers isn't too friendly, so if there's an easy fix, I would apply it.

There is some CSS conditional stuff for IE5/Mac, didn't we have a CSS fix file especially for this browser?

Yes there was such a file. I deleted it because it wasn't being used and it didn't actually fix anything.

You have something like h1, h2, h3 { display: none } inside your monobook.css / vector.css ?
There wasn't any global update in the last days.

Neither subpage seems to exist on en.wikipedia. Of course, he could have something like that as a user style in his browser, but I find that unlikely.

Given the long expiration times we set for our script and style pages, I think any change within the last 30 days or so could be the cause.
Hi,
I think you should try to there may be an issue with the CSS or template settings of your WordPress site, possibly hiding the section headings. You might want to check if any recent theme updates or plugin changes could have affected the formatting of your headings. Also try switching to a default theme or disabling plugins to see if the issue resolves and make sure your editing tools are fully updated.
Thanks
