+**IMPORTANT:** Using the @PLUGIN@ plugin is recommended only for repositories
+that contain files / folders that are owned by different users. If this is not

+instead](config-guide.html#configureCodeOwnersByPermissions).

 **IMPORTANT:** Before installing/enabling the plugin, or enabling the code
 owners functionality for further projects, follow the instructions from the
 [setup guide](setup-guide.html).
