Umherirrender proposed __NEWSECTIONLINK__ too on the patch. However it should
only be a last resort IMHO: if such an exception needs to be used often, then
we're doing something wrong.

The patch currently does "more" than what the bug summary here asks; I think
doing content namespaces only makes more sense. Copying from gerrit: I agree
that where a __NEWSECTIONLINK__ is found the page is probably a discussion: but
this can happen in any namespace. We can't really assume that a subject
namespace is in DocumentMode; there are just some cases where it's likely.

The only property that tells us something meaningful here is whether a
namespace is considered a content namespace, because on most (but not all)
MediaWikis the main content of a wiki is not discussions. The non-content
subject namespaces may be anything, really, and being internal namespaces,
touched mostly by non-newbies, they're not worth messing up with just for the
rare misplaced signature.
