Based on the wikitext, it's hard to determine whether the section title is there \(evil regexp\). We could combine it with a fallback to the API with action=parse, i.e. http://de.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&text=\{\{:G%C3%BCltigkeit\}\} the rewrite doesn't raise SectionErrors altogether. options: \- stripping the check \- try to get the regexp working \- keep a simple regexp with an API fallback questions \- how to implement this in the rewrite?
Long story short: it's impossible to do without another API query. We can use http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&prop=sections&page=Help:Editing to do this. We cannot do it using regexps because of template expansions.
