Link to the page of the downloaded extension on Special:ExtensionDistributor
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Hi, a useful enhancement to this extension would be to introduce an additional link which points to the page of the extension one has just downloaded. Thus one is not forced to use the back button of the browser a couple of times until you have returned to that page or to search again for the extension in order to return to it. In most cases you would like to see that page again for instructions to install it or for instructions to set possible options. A link above of message "Extdist-want-more" would be cool. Something link "Return to this extension's page" in a new message "Extdist-return". Thank you for considering this. Cheers [[kgh]]
