MediaWiki 1.71
Function initialiseFromUser( &$userInput ) {
Line 4591

     $this->mEditSection = true;

meaning imho that by default the possibility to edit section is set to 
true. I think this is a reason why in LocalSettings.php

     $wgDefaultUserOptions['editsection'] = 0

does'nt work (It did not in my wiki).


In MediaWiki 1.46 you can find the line.

     $this->mEditSection = $user->getOption( 'editsection' );

Here the possibility to edit section is defined by LocalSettings.php.

I used this lines for my purpose

    if ($user->getID()) {
       $this->mEditSection = $user->getOption( 'editsection' );
    } else {
       $this->mEditSection = 0;
    }
