The Naive extension installer has a "hail mary" approach to installing things. It downloads an extension, puts a require line in LocalSettings, and Good Luck.

People estimated that this might actually work for 60-80% of all extensions. As it turns out, that estimate was pretty much in the ballpark.

Incidentally, this is our first large scale fully automated test. Sure, we knew we were going to actually do those, and we've been working towards it. This just happens to actually be the first.

Summary of test procedure

The source code can be found at: http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/wikiation/installer/util/allnaive.py .

Results

258 out of 359 extensions could plausibly be installed with the naive approach, insofar as that they don't break the wiki. That's 72% of all extensions.

This method did not test whether an extension actually works as advertised.
