Referata TestWiki was a small sandbox test wiki, created by Xauroflaux and hosted on the Referata wiki farm. Like all Referata wiki, this used the MediaWiki wiki engine together with the Semantic MediaWiki suite of extensions. The wiki was started in early April 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."
Anyone could be granted administrator rights for testing purposes. Users could simply make a request on a respective noticeboard.
Due to severe and persistent problems with vandalism and sock puppetry, many pages were either semi-protected from all editing, 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 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.
