The  implementation strategy(s) employed in building this extension. This parameter is used to create categories that help programmers find examples of various MediaWiki specific implementation strategies or patterns. Although the values of this parameter sometimes coincide with the use case or purpose of an extension, that is not reason for this parameter. If the values you have chosen for this parameter do not adequately identify the [[w:Requirements|purpose]] or possible [[w:Use case|use case]]s, we recommend you add additional [[Help:Categories|category links]] as needed.

Note: Many extensions have more than one type, if this applies to yours, replace <code><nowiki>|type=</nowiki></code> with <code><nowiki>|type1=|type2=|type3=...</nowiki></code>. You may define up to six types for an extension.

Entering values in this field is a good way to get exposure for your extension and help other developers. Each documented hook will automatically add the extension to a category listing extensions that use that hook. This category is autolinked to each hook article so that programmers can easily find examples of extensions that use a particular hook.

Extensions which conform to MediaWiki extension standards come with a '''schema change script which you need to start manually''' (once) before starting and accessing the MediaWiki through your browser, and after you copied all the extension files to <code>$IP/extensions/ExtensionName</code> and inserted <code>wfLoadExtension( "ExtensionName");</code> into "LocalSettings.php", run from the command line:
