When Extension:Configure does not initialize, you currently get a big Error message in a red box, and that is it. Better was: - let it continue, so as to allow people to see the special:version page, where there is a link to the documentation, or - display that link before halting. Thank you.
What do you mean by "does not initialize"? when you don't call efConfigureSetup()?
For instance, efConfigureSetup() not called, database tables missing, etc. Basically, at least, all those things that show the red error field at some point, and inhibit other processing. Imho, an extension that does not work because some of its prerequisites are not there, or requirements are not fulfilled, should as far as possible let the rest of the wiki run as usual, and only not add its own functionality to the wiki.
The wiki can run without efConfigureSetup() called, databases tables not initialized, ... You should only see these errors when you access either Special:Configure, Special:Extension or Special:ViewConfig.
Errors message already say what to do, not sure if a link to the documentation is really needed.
(In reply to comment #3) > You should only see these errors when you access either Special:Configure, Special:Extension or Special:ViewConfig. I got the box with Special:Version, instead of the usual list, else I'd not found it, and not reported. Special:Version usually provides a link to the documentation, in it list of extensions, this is why I called it in the first place.
Marking bug as WORKSFORME; could not reproduce it. Please try with current version and if it still happens, explain the exact setps to reproduce it.
