Description
In the webapp plugin reference page, the minimum server version required to register various components is not mentioned.
If the minimum server version requirements are not met, the mattermost webapp shows a blank page with an error in console.
This is for all users including system admins.
The only way to disable the plugin is from editing the config.json file manually.
It would be better if the webapp reference mentioned the minimum server version required, so plugins can add a check to avoid this.

Identify the minimum Mattermost server version for each relevant component, then document those requirements so plugin authors can add compatibility checks; the reference should clearly show the version needed for every affected component.
