Add a configuration option that would allow sites to post new comments at the top (rather than the bottom) of talk [discussion] pages.
I've seen several requests to put new comments [+] at the top of user discussion pages rather than at the bottom so that original comments appear in reverse chronological order, newest to oldest.
Patch is extremely simple (see attached).
This would only affect the section='new' so, microscopic performance impact and would not impact existing talk pages.
Negative is it adds another $wg option ($wgNewCommentFirst).
Activated by adding to LocalSettings.php:
$wgNewCommentFirst = true;
Possible permutations might include:
- Adding to user preference
- Tag activated (by page)
