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)

Vermont

The following request has been closed by Cameron11598 (talk) 18:01, 17 July 2019 (UTC) as Done.

Closing rationale: granted for 1 month after which both rights will automatically expire.

• Vermont (talk • message • email • contribs (deleted • global) • stalk • CA • moves • summary • count • logs • block log • block • rights)
• Motive for request: Testing script modifications (I intend to update/change around some of the many scripts on my global.js and would rather test it here prior to possibly breaking the scripts that myself and some other users currently use). Also, specifically today, to test revision deletion on the first log entry of a page for the purposes of assisting a user experiencing problems.
• Requested rights: Administrator
• Comments:
• Done - also granted interface admin as it will likely be needed. Cameron11598 (talk) 18:01, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

• Motive for request: I need sysop rights to test some features of my app — m:SWViewer. For example, the behavior of app when a page is deleted while working on it. I can test it in ruwiki (I have right to delete pages) but it’s live wiki. Thanks.—Iluvatar (talk) 17:33, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
