+How come feature XYZ isn't available in Mercurial?
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+Mercurial comes with many bundled extensions which can be explicitly enabled.
+You can get a list of them by typing ``hg help extensions``.  Some of these
+extensions, such as ``color``, can prettify output; others, such as ``fetch``
+or ``transplant``, add new Mercurial commands.
+
+There are also many `configuration options`_ to tweak various aspects of the
+command line and other Mercurial behaviour; typing ``man hgrc`` displays
+their documentation inside your terminal.
+
+In the end, please refer to the Mercurial `wiki`_, especially the pages about
+`extensions`_ (including third-party ones) and the `tips and tricks`_.
