'''PublicTestWiki''', also known as '''TestWiki''', hosted on the {{tag|Miraheze}} wiki farm, 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 {{tag|MediaWiki}} software.


In addition to providing a testing environment, Test Wiki 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 [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] users and other users that want to have administrator permissions.
