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.

  @Eisheeta: do you have any other established WMF accounts? For general mediawiki testing you can gain access via sites on: Wikipedia:Requests/Tools. Xaosflux (talk) 12:39, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

  @Xaosflux: Thank you for your response. Yes, I do have an account on wikimedia, as user Eisheeta. I'll definitely check out the sites for testing but I'm worried it wouldn't allow me to use external links.
