Hi Yaron!
I think that for SiteSettings this patch could make sense although I'm
strongly against such interdependencies between extensions (after trying to
contribute to PageSchemas)
Is AdminLinks mentioned in SMW? That's really strange and surprising - I
thought it's just a header button and the predefined wikipage for the
content (well, maybe it can also check, which extensions are installed).
