+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #9426 +++

When using the '+' new section button (or passing section=new to index.php) to
create new sections, I believe the new section is always a second-level heading
(first-level being the page title). It'd be handy if we could somehow specify a
different heading level for newly created sections (say, third-level). A magic
word would work, I guess, but even just being able to pass some value to
index.php would be great.

I don't think a drop-down would be useful, but maybe people would like a [+]
next to section [edit] links on talk pages (settable in preferences?) that
would create a new section with a heading level one below that of the parent
section (for a discussion subtopic, which seems like the only place the
drop-down would be useful).
