3.2 Installing an extension
This is pretty much the same as installing plugins, so it does not seem necessary to list the required steps, but i will do it anyway.
To install an extension you just copy it to the /extensions directory.
Extensions can require gamedata and translations like plugins, so don't forget to install them too.

To actually load the extension just change the map or type sm exts load <name of your extension> in the server console. Remember that extensions wont load automatically if they are not required in the first place.

To force an extension to always load, just create an empty file with the name of the extension itself and the file-extension .autoload.
Example:

• extension file name is extensions/sdkhooks.ext.ep2v.dll
• to autoload this extension create an empty file extensions/sdkhooks.autoload

Note: You can't update a running extension, you need to disable it first via sm unload <extensionname> or stop your server. Otherwise your server will most likely crash (at least on linux).

3.3 Troubleshooting extension issues
Again, this is pretty much the same procedure that you've learned already.

How to test if it is loaded or failed while loading? sm exts list
How to load an extension at runtime? sm exts load <extension name>

Both should give you an output why it failed. Those can be the same reasons as in chapter 2.3, so make sure to read that if you haven't done already.
At the very least they should give you an indication on how to proceed.

This should go into the Sourcemod wiki, not here.

I think you can login with your Forum login, not sure.
Someone in IRC said everyone can edit and create new wiki pages.

This is correct. With a few exceptions (namely usernames that contain spaces), you should be able to just login with the same username and password as the forums. Any authenticated user should have permission for page creation and editing (unless the page is locked, of course).
