(As of: 23 December 2011) TestWiki is a project with a friendly community that provides an environment for users to experiment with administrator permissions, templates, extensions, and other features provided by the MediaWiki software. Several extensions and features have been custom built for TestWiki, including a simulated CheckUser extension and integration with IntenseDebate. Some other notable features include the ability to test the book creator and the WikiLove extensions.
In addition to providing a testing environment, TestWiki also provides training programs to help users familiarize themselves with running a community. These training programs are designed by members of the community and anyone is welcome to contribute to these programs. Due to its features and community, TestWiki remains a popular playground for Wikipedia users and other users that want to have administrator permissions.
Other projects also have partnership relationships set up with TestWiki, where TestWiki acts as the official testing environment for the project. This alleviates the partner's need to set up its own testing environment.
Permissions available
The permissions available for testing at TestWiki largely reflect the permissions available at Wikipedia. Note that there are no requirements to obtaining testing permissions, provided that the user has an account in good standing. The following permissions are available for testing:
| Permission | Description |
|---|---|
| Administrator | The regular set of administrative permissions are included in this testing permission |
| Rollback | Grants the ability to use rollback to quickly remove vandalism |
| Simulated CheckUser | Grants access to the simulated CheckUser interface, which allows users to experiment with CheckUser |
| File mover | Grants the ability to move files |
| Account creator | Grants the ability to bypass account creation restrictions |
| Bureaucrat | Largely the same as the bureaucrat permission on Wikipedia and other projects |
| Autopatrol | Automatically have one's edits marked as patrolled |
| Bot | The same as the bot permission on Wikipedia |
TestWiki does not require "confirmation edits" on other projects before permissions are granted. This opens up testing to a wide range of individuals and helps ensure that users are able to test as soon as possible.
