The user preference has always looked useless to me, while the per page control
makes sense if you need a non-default numbering of the sections: a magic word
as in comment 5 would be useful.

First, big discussions shouldn't happen on bugzilla; second, comment 1 and
comment 2 are indeed independent requests so they're usually put in different
bug for better tracking. 
I don't understand why comment 1 would be useful; comment 2 asks a more
granular control of how the TOC looks like; both can be replaced by manual work
if the automatic numbering feature is disabled (comment 5). Comment 5 is
uncontroversial, I think, and its resolution depends on whether it's considered
worth a magic word; comment 2 perhaps is too much, if we don't want MediaWiki
to be TEX.
