This in my mind would be very useful to Wikipedia.. at least on en; many times, users are blocked and are unable to participate in noticeboard threads about them; this would solve the complicated issue of copying message from their talk to the noticeboard, transcluding a section on their talk using <noinclude> tags, or other ways to get their message to ANI. It could even likely be developed into a template to make to easier on everyone. Aside from user issues, I'm sure it would have use elsewhere.
Would need community consensus and a security review first.
(In reply to comment #1) > Would need community consensus and a security review first. I'm not sure why you think this would need community consensus. As for a security review, this is the current status of this extension on Wikimedia wikis: 'wmgUseLST' => array( // controls loading of LabeledSectionTransclusion extension 'default' => false, 'wikisource' => true, //--------------- 'cswiktionary' => true, //22139 'dewikiversity' => true, //Per Bug 17773 'enwiktionary' => true, 'frwiki' => true, 'metawiki' => true, 'sourceswiki' => true, 'testwiki' => false, ), Source: http://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/InitialiseSettings.php.txt So I imagine it's already been checked for security issues. There might be other areas of concern (like load issues, e.g.), but I have no idea.
Last night I created a template that is based off of this extension.. note that it still needs to be modified in regards to it's use, so I haven't created the preload for the section creation yet. In regards to the #if I used, I've tested it on another wiki I'm an admin on and it works fine(testing to see if the section exists or not, basically). For the template: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Daedalus969/sandbox6 For the use: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Daedalus969/sandbox7
There's a short discussion about LST on wikitech-l: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2011-January/050991.html
Is there a reason you linked to that specific reply, which is difficult to tell if the poster is sarcastic about what they suggest? Reading into the thread further, it becomes obvious that they support #lst.

So I guess the fix for this is: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/47353
