-0 (bordering to -1) I think the pb is not advanced vs simple user.  
It's about making the feature work, even for advanced users.

Right now from what you say this feature is not working well enough  
and should be disabled by default for all users IMO, till we fix it.  
Cannot we verify that the correct FoxWiki extension is installed  
before activating the feature automatically?

Thanks
