+'''Referata TestWiki''' was a small {{tag|sandbox}} test wiki, created by [[Xauroflaux]] and hosted on the {{tag|Referata}} [[wiki farm]]. Like all Referata wiki, this used the {{tag|MediaWiki}} wiki engine together with the {{tag|Semantic MediaWiki}} suite of extensions. The wiki was started in early April {{tag|Founded in 2017|2017}}, and then was left dormant. As of 2024, it shows a blank page with the message "Referata is experiencing temporary technical difficulties. Sorry for the inconvenience."

+Due to severe and persistent problems with [[vandal]]ism and [[Sockpuppet|sock puppetry]], many pages were either semi-protected from all [[edit]]ing, and / or were set to require all edits from non-admins to be approved by an [[admin]] before they were publicly visible. Additionally, editing through web hosts or proxies such as TOR was prohibited under most circumstances, and any web hosting ranges were blocked upon discovery.

+The wiki had very few admins and only one [[bureaucrat]], and was frequently {{tag|spammed}} by a long-term vandal who posted sexual material across multiple pages. Additionally, bureaucrat rights were no longer being given out for testing purposes as a result of a security breach in December 2018.
