Description

$wgExperimentalHtmlIds has been introduced in 1.16, but almost immediately turned off by default as there were several complaints on its behavior.

It probably does not make sense to keep it.

It was deprecated by @MaxSem in rMWfd6e9ef2d481: Human-readable section ID support. Thanks to the deprecation policy we can't actually remove it until 1.31 or later.

Possibly someone should add a wfDeprecated() into the bit in Setup.php.
