           Summary: API should support &action=edit&section=new regardless
                    of whether LiquidThreads is used on the page
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: any
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal
         Component: LiquidThreads
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


For backwards-compatibility, the API should be able to use
&action=edit&section=new regardless of whether the talk page uses
LiquidThreads. If it uses LiquidThreads, it should just add a thread. If not,
it should add a section (as it has historically).

The idea here is that script writers should not have their scripts broken by
the introduction of LiquidThreads to a wiki.

In addition, some wikis use LiquidThreads on a per-page basis arbitrarily
(using {{UseLiquidThreads:1}}. There must be a way to post a new section to the
page regardless of whether the page currently uses LiquidThreads. Again,
requiring script writers to write new and more complex code doesn't seem like
the nicest or most reasonable solution here. Something built in to the
extension seems best.
