Extension:PlaceNewSection

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

Usage
Where  is used in a page, new sections are added directly below it.

This is the opposite of MediaWiki's default behavior, which is to add new sections at the very end of the article. The effect of using this magic word in the article's lead section is to put newly-added sections in reverse-chronological order; that is, newer sections at the top, older sections at the bottom. This can be useful for journal entries or meeting minutes, where you would prefer the latest updates to be at the top of the page.

When  is used, new sections will be added directly above where magic word appears in the page.

This is similar to the MediaWiki default behavior for talk pages, except anything below this magic word will stay at the bottom. This is useful, for example, to keep "See also" or "References" sections below any other comments on a talk page.

Note that existing sections are not reordered at the moment you add the magic word; you'd have to reorder those yourself, manually.

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.
