The '''Wikimedia Beta Cluster''', commonly referred to as merely '''Beta Cluster''', is a small [[wiki farm]] of test wiki sites running the latest alpha version of {{tag|MediaWiki}} (MW), along with {{tag|Wikibase}} and the plethora of other current {{tag|MediaWiki extension}}s for {{tag|MediaWiki developer}}s.  Hosted on {{tag|Wikimedia Cloud VPS}}, the main portal is at <tt>[https://Beta.WMFLabs.org Beta.WMFLabs.org]</tt>.  Sometimes incorrectly called 'Beta labs', the WMF Beta Cluster is maintained by {{Mw|Wikimedia Release Engineering Team|Wikimedia Release Engineering}}.  Beta Cluster is not intended for [[:Category:Research|research]] or other serious use of content.  The Beta Cluster is a functional, production-like environment in the {{Wikitech|Help:Cloud Services Introduction|Cloud VPS}} that is suitable for final-stage {{tag|testing}} of new features.  It runs off [[:Category:Git|git]] master, and has its {{tag|MediaWiki}} core and extensions code updated about every ten minutes.  Beta Cluster is one of the {{tag|Wikimedia Foundation}} (WMF) {{WMF-Meta|Wikimedia wikis#Test wikis|test wikis}}.  It uses its own {{Mw|Extension:CentralAuth|SUL}} login separate from production, so for example, an account for <tt>[https://En.Wikipedia.Beta.WMFLabs.org/wiki/Main_Page En.Wikipedia.Beta.WMFLabs.org]</tt> ([[English Wikipedia]] beta) also works on <tt>[https://En.Wikisource.Beta.WMFLabs.org/wiki/Main_Page En.Wikisource.Beta.WMFLabs.org]</tt> ([[English Wikisource]] beta), <tt>[https://En.Wikinews.Beta.WMFLabs.org/wiki/Main_Page En.Wikinews.Beta.WMFLabs.org]</tt> ([[English Wikinews]] beta), <tt>[https://En.Wiktionary.Beta.WMFLabs.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Main_Page En.Wiktionary.Beta.WMFLabs.org]</tt> ([[English Wiktionary]] beta), <tt>[https://En.Wikibooks.Beta.WMFLabs.org/wiki/Main_Page En.Wikibooks.Beta.WMFLabs.org]</tt> ([[Wikibooks (English)|English Wikibooks]] beta), <tt>[https://En.Wikivoyage.Beta.WMFLabs.org/wiki/Main_Page En.Wikivoyage.Beta.WMFLabs.org]</tt> ([[English Wikivoyage]] beta), <tt>[https://Wikidata.Beta.WMFLabs.org/wiki/Wikidata:Main_Page Wikidata.Beta.WMFLabs.org]</tt> ([[Wikimedia Wikidata]] beta), etc, but <u>not</u> on any production wiki.

It should be noted that whilst all 'projects' of the Wikimedia Foundation have their equivalent [[:Category:Wiki English|English language]] site on Beta Cluster, most of the other existing [[:Category:Wiki language|language versions]] (except for a very small selection) of their projects are not included on Beta Cluster, as is evident from the main page of the [[English Wiktionary]] beta.[https://En.Wiktionary.Beta.WMFLabs.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Main_Page]

The '''Wikimedia Beta Cluster''' is the test wiki for MediaWiki developers.  It is not intended for research or other serious use of content.  The Beta Cluster is a functional, production-like environment in the Cloud VPS that is suitable for final-stage testing of new features.  It runs off git master, and has its MediaWiki core and extensions code updated about every ten minutes.  Beta Cluster is one of the Wikimedia test wikis.  It uses its own SUL login separate from production, so for example an account for en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org also works on en.wikisource.beta.wmflabs.org but not on any production wiki.
