Why would we deliberately invite links in section heads? It just doesn't make sense, especially since our section head color has been the same as our link color for years now. It does no real good to link in a section head.

As for mobile, there's something weird going on, and I can't quite run it to ground. Go to the mobile version of The Snowmen, click on any of the major — i.e. h2, or == — subheads. They're blue, but if you click on the blue word "Cast" or "Crew", the section merely reveals itself.

Now go to "References" and open that one. You'll note it reveals "Culural references", "Communication technology", "The Doctor", etc. But what happens if you click on these blue section heads? You get taken to another page. That's visually confusing. All section heads which are h3 or below should be black in wikiamobile.

It doesn't say it explicitly, because our policies were written somewhat haphazardly but on the Tardis:Format for novels#References it does say "The list should be divided into categories". Much of the wiki's early "policy" was a 'here's how the articles look, copy that' sort of thing.

Perhaps it'd be more accurate to say that the process of linking the subheadings has been in force a longer time than the policy that was recently written.

Why not link the subheadings? Why shouldn't the subheadings be linked?

What about the little v that and the box around the subheadings visually indicates far, far more than the colour.

I didn't mention a table...why are you? I'm confused again.

As far as the Eleventh Doctor, that is weird, as I just recreated the page on my sandbox and the link shows up.

Mobile also ignores our templates, so each article that has an update tag like the Eleventh Doctor starts with saying it needs to be updated. Which is a little odd.
