'''The Test Wiki – ''the test wiki that cares''''' — is a [[test wiki]] – a wiki used for {{tag|testing}}!  Anyone can be granted [[administrator]] rights for testing, however several confirmation steps are required first.  Additionally, its founder, [[Skizzerz]], has been known to be a little restrictive when it comes to open testing.  Some basic [[admin]]istrator tools are restricted to higher groups (<code>editinterface</code> is restricted to [[bureaucrat]]s, and <code>deletelogentry</code> and <code>nuke</code> are restricted to wiki [[staff]]).  However, it is running the latest MediaWiki version (1.31.0), the same as global [[:Category:Wikimedia Foundation|Wikimedia Foundation]] (WMF) projects.
 
The one {{tag|great feature|unique area}} that The Test Wiki specialises in is a test [[check user]] custom extension available to bureaucrats.  This extension allows bureaucrats to access [[Special:CheckUser]], but they can only check their own [[username]] or [[IP address]].  This allows bureaucrat to see how check user works without actually revealing private information about other users.  It is unknown whether this right grants access to [[Special:CheckUserLog]] or not, and it is also unknown whether this custom code will ever be pushed globally upstream.
 
Due to recent [[spam]] and [[vandal]]ism, administrators are no longer able to un[[block]] themselves, nor are they able to bypass IP address hard-blocks (both of these rights are restricted to bureaucrats).  Therefore, non-crat admins should not test blocking on themselves, because they will not be able to undo it!  Additionally, most VPN networks, proxies, and other web hosts are automatically indefinitely blocked by MediaWiki, and cannot be bypassed by non-crat sysops unless they are in the IP Block Exemptions group.  The same goes for standard IP blocks with 'prevent logged in users from editing' enabled.
