Headings are styled through CSS and add an [edit] link. See this section for the relevant CSS. Four or more headings cause a table of contents to be generated automatically.

Heading names: Editors may use any reasonable section and subsection names that they choose. [ k ] The most frequent choice is "References".

Heading names of sections (including subsections) should be unique on a page. Using the same heading more than once on a page causes problems:

In computer science , the syntax of a computer language is the rules that define the combinations of symbols that are considered to be correctly structured statements or expressions in ...
Avoid using smaller font sizes within page elements that already use a smaller font size, such as most text within infoboxes, navboxes, and references sections. [g] This means that <small>...</small> tags, and templates such as {} and {}, should not be applied to plain text within those elements. In no case should the resulting font size of any ...
As a general rule, it is preferable, particularly in cases where a section has a large number of backlinks, to use {{subst:Anchor}} in the HTML element of the header. To link to a section within the same article, one can simply prefix the name of the section header with the pound sign (" # ") nested in square brackets, for example (" # "):
