mediawiki - How do I configure mediawiki to show heading numbering/lettering in the document?

Question

When the table of contents is generated, it numbers sections based upon their heading.

1. section 1
2. section 2 2.1 section 2.1 2.2 secttion 2.2
3. section 3

and so on.

I would like these section numbers to appear at the paragraph level also.

1, (section 1 header text)

... section 1 content ...

2, (section 2 header text)

... section 2 content ....

Any tips?

There is a user-preference to make all headings use outline numbering, but no way to make that a default for all users. Here's a few lines of code which can be added to your LocalSettings.php file which do that.

$wgExtensionFunctions[] = 'wfNumberHeadings';
function wfNumberHeadings() {
    global $wgUser;
    $wgUser->setOption('numberheadings', true);
}
