[Hamara-devel] Fwd: Re: [MediaWiki-l] how to make mediawiki make TOC with less than 4 sections ?

[shirish]

Cannot do less than 4 sections/headers for a wiki entry. Having sections 
and sub-sections in a wiki page is good so it's handy URL to point 
people to.

That's why I had asked on mediawiki-l and now to know that it's a 
hardcoded thing, although thankfully we could rely on _TOC_ or 
_FORCETOC_ if we really need it (I don't like forcing stuff) but anyways 
it is as it is.

Sadly no, it's hardcoded in Parser.php.

# if there are fewer than 4 headlines in the article, do not show TOC
# unless it's been explicitly enabled.
$enoughToc = $this->mShowToc &&
	( ( $numMatches >= 4 ) || $this->mForceTocPosition );
