Extension:PlaceNewSection

The PlaceNewSection extension introduces two magic words,  and , that control placement of new talk page sections.

Usage
If  is placed on a page, new sections will be added directly below it instead of after the end. Newer sections will be at the top, and older sections at the bottom.

If  is used, new sections will be added directly above it, and the order will be reversed (new sections at the bottom, like the MediaWiki default), but anything below this magic word will stay at the bottom.

Installation

 * 2) Edit the file "extension.json" and add   in line 12.
 * 3) Place the file(s) in a directory called   in your   folder.

Caveats
The magic words provided by this extension don't seem to work in a transclusion.

If you had this content, for example, in a template named "newsectiontop"

__NEWSECTIONLINK__ __ADDNEWSECTIONBELOW__

and transcluded it into and article's lead section like this

…the magic words controlling the table of contents and "Add topic" tab would work as expected when transcluded, but new sections would still show up at the bottom of the page.

The workaround is to  the template into the lead of your article first:

…and then save.
