Description Yair Rand 2013-08-05 01:23:11 UTC 
Using api.php?action=edit&title=Talk:Sandbox&section=new&sectiontitle=bar&appendtext=baz&token=(token), where Talk:Sandbox contains the content "foo", results in the content "foo\n==bar==\nfoobaz". The lead content is duplicated in the new section, before the appendtext content.
Comment 1 Brad Jorsch 2013-08-05 15:31:43 UTC 
I'm not entirely sure whether specifying appendtext/prependtext with section=new should be an error or if we should DWIM and append/prepend to an empty section. 

I'll go with the latter for now, but I could easily be convinced to do the former.
