Currently, the inputbox extension has an option where if you type a page in the box, it makes a new section on the page and brings up the edit box. However, it would be useful if instead, a user enters a topic title into the box, and a new section with that title is created on the page the box is on. For instance, if this:
<inputbox>
type=newsection
</inputbox>
was placed on [[Talk:Main Page]] and a user typed "Hello World" in the box and pressed the button, the edit page for a new section on Talk:Main Page would come up, with "Hello World" as the preloaded title. I suggest this idea as a spin-off of the new "preloadtitle" parameter implemented in the index.php file, allowing the title of a section to be preloaded.
