Originally, the layout was that we defaulted to the highest level of hash mark and only moved downward if there were more subcategories. What it ended up being was different depending on the type of page.

Thus is the movie page was broken down into groups of weapons it was:

=Pistol=
==M1911A1==
==Browning Hi Power==

=Rifle=
==AR-15==
==AK-47==


etc.

Now we sometimes have pages which have the ENTIRE page divided into categories, aka, the ones which denote GERMAN versus RUSSIAN armies, for example. If we did GERMAN ARMY then we would do:

=German Weapons=
==Pistols==
===Luger P08===
===Walther P38===

=Russian Weapons=
==Rifles==
===Mosin Nagant M91/30===
===M38 Carbine===

Or that's what I remember us doing.

As for actors, since there was not a higher level of category, I was going by what I saw the originators do back in 2007, i.e. default to the double hashmark for Film, Television, etc. Personally I think it looks better to have the line than just to have it boldened. Also it separates the title from the tables (which have taken over most of the pages ... which is a good thing). But with subcategories, I think members began being inconsistent with their hashmarks, because of how they were on OTHER pages. But these older ordering of hash marks came from the times when we did NOT have tables and we were nesting information.

So I always did it:

Joe Schmoo used the following guns in the following:

==Film==
INSERT TABLE HERE

==Television==
INSERT TABLE HERE


Now I believe weapons should be the same.

The AK-47 has appearing in the following:

==FILM==
INSERT TABLE HERE

==Television==
INSERT TABLE HERE

the reason why is that with constantly changing widths of pages (determined by the MONITOR of the viewer) the underlines of the double hash marks helps visually separate the tables and categories. Again, this slowly morphed because we started creating more and more tables. I never liked the Triple hash mark for an entire category. That is less visible as a major section title, IMHO.
