@Nx Hello! Do you think it will work with DT? :)

Thanks for the tip! @Nx Can you please port the extension to gerrit?

DT doesn't choose where a topic goes, per-se. It calls the VisualEditorEdit API with section=new, which passes that through to the mw-core Edit API. So, if the code in there winds up respecting PlaceNewSectionHook, this would work with DT. (Apart from in the ways that T313165 calls out -- the DT UI would be in the wrong place, etc.)

@Ernstkm hi :) I see Nx is offline, can you help with this extension? :) Do you know of any wikis where it's already used?

I have so far shied away from using DiscussionTools on any of my wikis (none of which are public), so I'm not sure how well the PlaceNewSection extension would integrate with that.

Thanks for bringing to my attention the other Phabricator issue, requesting the ability to add new sections to the top, in core. That motivates me to try and understand things a bit better than the haphazard hacking I did to get PlaceNewSection working again with MW 1.33.

@Ernstkm hello :) Can you move your code to gerrit please?

Is GitLab an option?

@Aklapper can you help with this question please? :)

Tagging Release-Engineering-Team as I don't know the status (or workflow) for setting up MW extension repositories canonically in GitLab

It seems to me that it’s better to do it on Gerrit for now, and then, if everything is good, transfer it to GitLab. Because it is possible that they will check for a long time (Gitlab), but I would like to start the code/idea review process :)

OK, I agree. I only asked because I don't know the first thing about Gerrit, and figured GitLab would be easier to get things rolling. It seems like Gerrit is the path of least resistance, however, and I'm fine with going that route instead.

The Gerrit repo is ready: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/admin/projects/mediawiki/extensions/PlaceNewSection

Thanks a lot! A have started review process :)
