Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Notifications, Watchlists and Talk Pages/Allow posting new sections to top of Talk pages

Random proposal ►◄ Notifications, Watchlists and Talk Pages The survey has concluded. Here are the results!

Allow posting new sections to top of Talk pages

Problem: Now many projects use the scheme, when new topics on the talk pages are located at the top. For example - pages using d:Q10953400#sitelinks-wikipedia, or smth like ru:Википедия:Форум/Технический, ru:Википедия:Запросы к администраторам. If earlier this would not have been critical, then with the advent of DiscussionTools, this has become a problem, since completely different behavior is obtained with the same actions. The main problem is signatures - when adding topics from above, you still need to put signatures manually. This issue does not exist in Convenient Discussions, but does exist in Discussion Tools.
Proposed solution: For example, create a magic word that would override the behavior of creating a "New Topic".
Who would benefit: New editors, Newcomers, Editors

Discussion

@PPelberg (WMF): Any input, does this sound like something that seems feasible or that you have discussed? KSiebert (WMF) (talk) 20:24, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
hi @KSiebert (WMF)! Thank you for the ping...the Editing Team has done a bit of thinking about this.

Based on what @Matma Rex shared in phab:T313165#8145595, it appears that what this wish is requesting is technically feasible. Tho, implementing it looks like it would involve some changes to MediaWiki core (by way of phab:T33919) and some changes to the New Topic Tools' user experience.

Bartosz: please comment here if you see anything above needing correction/clarification. PPelberg (WMF) (talk) 19:54, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
