Extension talk:DiscussionTools

Limiting DT to Specific Namespace(s)

Is there any way to limit DiscussionTools to a specific namespace? I would like "User_talk" to have DiscussionTools enabled, but I would like it disabled for all other Talk namespaces. Derf Jagged (talk) 00:56, 17 July 2025 (UTC)

Sorry, I don't think it's possible. You can disable the features on individual pages as described at Help:DiscussionTools/Magic words and markup. Matma Rex (talk) 20:25, 17 July 2025 (UTC)

Position of new topics

I'm really looking forward to the setting to be able to choose where to create new topics.

Like: $wgDiscussionToolsNewTopicPlacement = 'top'; // or 'bottom' Rogue Vor tex (talk) 07:08, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

DiscussionTools should be mostly compatible with Extension:PlaceNewSection, which lets you control that. Matma Rex (talk) 20:27, 17 July 2025 (UTC)

Non-lv2 sections

Some projects uses section headers lower than level 2 for discussion header, notably:

• Commons Deletion Requests
• meta's Stewards requests
• English Wikipedia Changing Usernames
• English Wikipedia Requests for Permissions

Since most of these pages are organized into subpages, maybe some json config in MediaWiki ns that allows local wikis to specify 'subpages of these pages should be using these section levels'?

Filing here as I dunno if this has been already reported or needs more… discussion. :-p — Revi 06:01, 27 November 2025 (UTC)
