You don't need to do anything to "activate" an extension. Once you've added
the requisite line to LocalSettings.php (ex:
require_once("$IP/extensions/MyExtension/MyExtension.php"); ), the next
time you load a page on the wiki, your extension is there. You can check on
[[Special:Version]] of your install, as it shows all installed extensions
there.
If it isn't listed in Special:Version, then you probably either A) don't
have your LocalSettings.php correct or B) Have a coding error in your
extension.
