Which can
All extension who's result of the output of the extension is in the same page were the extension is in. This sounds very complicated be can be easily checked.
Check
- Go to a new empty page were you want to test the extension.
- Copy the URL to notepad. This the original URL
- Click on "edit" and add the code needed for the extension.
- Notice that the URL has changed. Behind the original URL is now "?action=edit" this is good.
- Click on the button "Save page"
- A page can be seen now, with the result of the extension.
- Read the new URL now.
Original URL and new URL are identical
This means that the output of the extension is written in the same page. This extension can be tested automatical by the testbot.
Original URL and new URL are different
This means that the output of the extension is written in a new page. On this moment, september 2008, this can not be tested automatically. But we do work on that.
Which can not
Special pages. These do have a very different behaviour as normal extension. Some kind of special page may be tested in the future automatical.
