To be clear, you added an extension and now you see a blank page? A few things to look at:
Try enabling error_reporting from within PHP (php.ini) and see what you get. Confirm your paths and syntax for your new extension call within the LocalSettings.php. Check the discussions tab for the extension you downloaded, do others have similar issues?
Good luck.

Hello,
Some of my wiki page are not update. Although those page have newer version an old version of the pages is display to guests. It is possible to see the new version in the page history or after I login.
It not look like client cache problem. I cleared the browser cache (Pressing Shift key + Refresh bottom) and try different type of browsers from different ISPs.
Also I disable the my wiki squid proxy.
Please advise
Addady

Ok thanks, but how can I be sure it's working before all my pages drop off google (if it were wrong). Is there some way to validate it in the context of my site?
Thanks again

Does anything need to be disallowed?

The extension you add is producing a PHP error. The php error make a blank page. You will be able to see the actual error in the error log. Use a newer version of the extension / contact the extension author.

Hi,
Purging the page didn't solve the problem.

Google offers such a tool with their Webmaster Tools < https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools%3E; I'm sure there are plenty of similar tools out there.
