After further investigation of our wikia specific settings, here is my summary:


 * Wikipedia, other mediawiki projects and wikia, all use the same tried and true scheme for headings. Which include the use of boldface for all headers, except the top most header which use a more visual distinctive bottom border instead.
 * Like any wiki we made some modifications, to personalize the wikia theme, including:
 * (a) H2 headers: Replacing the bottom border with the more distinctive green gradient. And made its font size smaller, presumably to make the gradient line slimer and thus less dominant visually.
 * (b) Other headers: Removed the default boldface styling. For unclear reason.


 * In the last year, we have used bold, italic and underline to emphasis h3 subsection on various articles. So obviously the current scheme doesn't work well everywhere, nor we have a policy in place to deal with this consistently.


 * After playing with all the above variants, I prefer that we reinstate the default boldface setting that seem to work well everywhere (It is the default setting on wikia\mediawiki, used and designed for millions of readers).
 * Our H2 headers are visually distinctive, so I don't share Janus100 opinion that other boldface headers will look odd along side it.
 * Wikipidea caution against using underline text, which may be confused with links on a web page. And according to my googling, underlining is usually regarded as archaic typewriting practice to be avoided from practical typography stand point. Which is probably why you haven't seen this used on any big sites.

Multimedia headers look fine. Personally, I prefer the first variant over the later. Its looks cleaner and less distrusting

relationships are also using h4 for some unknown reason. I'm unclear why we even bother with sections since tabber interferes with the TOC and the edit section links, making the section headers useless. I agree. This has todo with mobile compatibility, there is a "better" (more elegant although less editor friendly) solution on which there is info here But we digress...

p.s. Jasnus100, as always, I assume you are familiar with this, so even thou I am quoting you, I am using the general you and posting this for the benefit anyone who may not.
