The wiki page on extensions ([http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Extensions](http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Extensions)) says  
to use:

$ rake db:migrate:extensions  
when installing extensions. Some extensions also require something like:

$ rake radiant:extensions:copy\_move:install

to complete the installation.

I’ve found that I’ve had to include the name of the database explicitly:

$ rake production radiant:extensions:copy\_move:install

I’m wondering how to fix the documentation in  
[http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Extensions](http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Extensions) to reflect this.

Earl,

The wiki is publicly editable, just create an account and edit it.
