    Description

      As a preparation for removing support for slasharguments, in 2.9 we should warn users if their server is not configured to support it.

      This issue will require making sure that installation documentation explains how to set it up for all server types.
      Some drafts already exist:
      https://docs.moodle.org/28/en/IIS#Slasharguments
      https://docs.moodle.org/28/en/Apache#Slasharguments
