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.

Requests for user rights

All (current and archived)

The following request has been closed by Xaosflux (talk) 21:33, 14 February 2019 (UTC) as Done.

Closing rationale: Granted, see below

StraussInTheHouse

• StraussInTheHouse (talk • message • email • contribs (deleted • global) • stalk • CA • moves • summary • count • logs • block log • block • rights)
• Motive for request: I'm developing a couple of things at the moment, mainly, but not exclusively to do with edit filters. Examples of filter-related stuff I'm involved in:
  • en:Wikipedia:Edit filter/Requested#Filter for subscribe to war
  • en:Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation#Thinking of making a monitoring filter for resubmissions

I'm also looking into doing some semi-automated fixes on bare URLs on simplewiki: simple:User talk:Operator873#Flood flag request for User:StraussInTheHouse

• Requested rights: Edit filter manager (for testing with regards to the first two in a safe environment), administrator (for testing with regards to the last one, or any user group on here that has noratelimit enabled)
• Comments: Done adding admin (includes EFM here) for 3 months for testing - if you need to renew let me know. Xaosflux (talk) 21:30, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

Suffusion of Yellow

• Suffusion of Yellow (talk • message • email • contribs (deleted • global) • stalk • CA • moves • summary • count • logs • block log • block • rights)
• Motive for request: I'm trying to make the enwiki edit filter false positives reporting system more user-friendly. I'd like to see how an improved en:Template:Edit filter warning I'm working on looks like when various types of filters (edit, move, createaccount) are actually tripped under various configurations. This will probably also take multiple edit requests to various MediaWiki:abusefilter-warning-* messages to get it right, so I thought I'd create a working mock-up here first. Xaosflux assigned this right for a week back in August, and I didn't do anything evil. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 23:47, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
• Requested rights: Administrator
• Comments: Done added for 2 months. Xaosflux (talk) 23:55, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
