Hooks used GetDoubleUnderscoreIDs PlaceNewSection

The PlaceNewSection extension introduces two magic words, __ADDNEWSECTIONBELOW__ and __ADDNEWSECTIONABOVE__ that control placement of new talk page sections.

Usage

If __ADDNEWSECTIONBELOW__ is placed on a page, new sections will be added directly below it instead of after the end. Newer sections will be at the top, and older sections at the bottom.

If __ADDNEWSECTIONABOVE__ is used, new sections will be added directly above it, and the order will be reversed (new sections at the bottom, like the MediaWiki default), but anything below this magic word will stay at the bottom.
