Wikipedia Requests

Wikipedia Test-Wiki is for developers.

Please read this: This wiki does not exist for users to test out random nonsense on an exhaustive basis; it's here for developers to check that changes to the code aren't going to cripple the live sites. See also: WP:WWD and WP:NOT.

As a result, administrator status is still not going to be given out to all and sundry. This isn't an arena for you to play with the tools, or mess about, nor is it somewhere you should be testing your bots, etc. - If you want a place that is for you to test out sysop tools, etc, try these sites.

Having said that, if you do need administrator status for a particular reason, request this status and ensure that your userpage here is linked to your home wiki project.

Motive for request: I would like to test some user scripts that require sysop access. I'm an IAdmin on Bengali Wikipedia and sysop+IAdmin on Bengali Wikivoyage. Thank you in advance. Yahya (talk) 19:03, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Motive for request: Requesting temporary or permanent renewal of my testwiki sysop permission. I am a Twinkle developer with +2 access, and testwiki sysop makes the development and testing process easier. Here is a link to my 38 Twinkle pull requests. Thanks for your consideration.

Motive for request: I would like to request a sysop flag because I need to test a mass protection tool. This tool has a bug, and I talked to an interface admin about it, but I was asked to submit a modified version if I can write scripts by myself. I'm often involved with flag-required scripts like this one, so I would appreciate it if I could be granted the right without a temporary status. --Dragoniez (talk) 04:32, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Requested rights: sysop
Comments: @Dragoniez: we don't normally give +sysop here for people that don't have it elsewhere. Have you already looked in to these projects where you can test things: Wikipedia:Requests/Tools ? -- Xaosflux (bar/foo) talk 18:31, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- @Xaosflux: I checked out those sites before applying for the flag, but I decided to submit a request here because some of my scripts (e.g. Selective Rollback.js, Mark BLocked Global.js) need to refer to pages like Special:CentralAuth, which don't exist/work on them. For this reason, it would be best if I could test my scripts here. Thank you for your consideration. --Dragoniez (talk) 14:01, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  - Marking blocked shouldn't require any admin access, I added +rollbacker to you that should allow for rollback testing. -- Xaosflux (foo/bar) talk 15:19, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    - Thank you Xaosflux, I guess I should consider using one of those external sites to test out the mass protection tool that I mentioned in the Op? --Dragoniez (talk) 15:31, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      Yes, as far as general admin testing goes that should work. If you haven't already you may want to look in to code used in tools such as w:en:Wikipedia:Twinkle/doc#Modules_for_administrators (which has bulk-protect and bulk-delete scripts). -- Xaosflux (foo/bar) talk 15:53, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Got it, I appreciate your help. --Dragoniez (talk) 16:02, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Motive for request: (Already rollbacker on wikifr) Hi, I'm working on a bot (nothing fancy, write only reports), and I need to access the same type of data I receive from the API on wikifr (i.e. 'watchers' is only available for rollbackers). Thank you for your help. Irwc (talk) 10:51, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
