Ben, to answer your question from the meeting on Monday.
It does require a restart to change the mode.

Kind Regards
Niels

Thanks for the confirmation, Niels. Are there any docs or UI components that require should mention this? I do not think that there is anywhere a user could toggle the plugin status in the UI, but it might be worth mentioning in the docs that installing the plugin will disable Wicket unique resource IDs and why, and the security impact.

Kind regards,

Hello Ben

I added documentation to the PR. Is it what you had in mind?
