-Due to its modular architecture, there are a multitude of Trac plugins. Only a handful of them are maintained directly in this Trac, the others are maintained externally, generally at TracHacks. 
+If you have reached this page, it is possible that you have been posting an issue which is unrelated to Trac core, but rather to a Trac plugin.
 
-Look at the details of the error page, in particular at the URL which triggered the problem ("While doing a GET/PUT operation on /...), the ''Request parameters'' and the ''Traceback'' itself for hints about the identity of the plugin which caused the problem.
+Trac has been designed to be extended with functionality outside the core. Non-core functionality is implemented in a so called plugin, that has its own maintainer, documentation and issue log. All plugins recognised by the Trac community reside at TracHacks. 
 
-Once you've identified it, please report the error to that particular plugin's maintainer.
