+=head1 NAME
+
+F<t> - MediaWiki test tree
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This is the MediaWiki test tree (well, one of them), tests in this
+directory are self-contained programs that produce TAP output via the
+F<Test.php> module (/trunk/Test/Test.php) (see
+http://search.cpan.org/~petdance/TAP-1.00/TAP.pm#THE_TAP_FORMAT for
+information on the TAP format).
+
+=head1 Running the tests
+
+You'll need F<Test.php> to run the tests, it lives in the
+F<trunk/Test> directory and can be copied or linked to the F<phase3>
+directory.
+
+ ln -s ../Test/Test.php .
+
+Since the tests are self-contained PHP programs you can run them
+(Xml.t here) as:
+
+ php t/inc/Xml.t
+
+That'll give you the raw TAP output, but what you probably want is to
+use a TAP formatter such as L<prove(1)>:
+
+ prove t/inc/Xml.t # add -v for the verbose version
+
+or to run all the tests:
+
+ prove -r t
+
+=head1 TODO
+
+=over
+
+=item *
+
+Rewrite the rest of the F<tests/> stuff to use L<Test.php> and move it
+here
+
+=item *
+
+Make the parsertests use TAP?
+
+=item *
+
+Write unit tests for the entire codebase:)
