There is a very handy online tool for testing htaccess files. Simply paste your redicrect rules in the form provided and test various urls to see if they are redirected or left untouched.... soooper easy!

Type some random characters in your .htaccess file and try to reload your page, if you see error 500 then your .htaccess file is working, put your random characters after "RewriteEngine On" .

Try:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.*?)/?([^/]+)\.ht(m|ml)?$ $1/index.php?page=$2 [L,QSA]

I wonder why people don't use RewriteLog.

Put in the same place:

RewriteLog /tmp/rewrite.log
RewriteLogLevel 3

It slows down the server but for debugging it's made for.

Not sure that rule would work. Does this one do the job?

RewriteRule ^.*/(.*)\.html?$ index.php?page=$1 [L,QSA]

Also, if you want to test the rule with a bit more visibility, you can add R=302 to the flags, that way your browser will get a redirect and you'll be able to see the rewritten URL in the address bar
