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]
