Literal headers should not have clickable section link anchors
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

When a user adds a header to a page using straight HTML ("<h2>Title</h2>") instead of wikitext ("==Title==") to a page, typically that section does not need a section link. Header tags are used in boxes and all sorts of pages with fancy formatting, and the addition of the "§" is as disruptive as edit links (which are not added to these) would be.

This was a bug report about section anchor links, which were briefly added and then reverted in 2015 (T18691). It should have been closed as invalid, since the feature no longer exists.
