 '''Referata TestWiki''' is a small {{tag|sandbox}} test wiki, created by [[Xauroflaux]] and hosted on the {{tag|Referata}} [[wiki farm]].  Like all Referata wiki, this uses the {{tag|MediaWiki}} wiki engine together with the {{tag|Semantic MediaWiki}} suite of extensions.  The wiki was started in early April {{tag|FoundedIn2017|2017}}, and then was left dormant for almost a month.  However, since May 2017, the wiki has once again been active.
-Anyone can be granted [[Sysop|administrator]] rights for testing purposes.  Users can simply make a [http://TestWiki.Referata.com/wiki/TestWiki:Requests_for_permissions request] on a respective noticeboard.  Currently, Xauroflaux is the only [[bureaucrat]], but other [[user]]s can be promoted after certain requirements are met.{{Clarify}}
+Anyone can be granted [[Sysop|administrator]] rights for testing purposes.  Users can simply make a [http://TestWiki.Referata.com/wiki/TestWiki:Requests_for_permissions request] on a respective noticeboard.
 Due to severe and persistent problems with [[vandal]]ism and [[Sockpuppet|sock puppetry]], many pages are either semi-protected from all [[edit]]ing, and / or are set to require all edits from non-admins to be approved by an admin before they are publicly visible.  Additionally, editing through web hosts or proxies such as TOR is prohibited under most circumstances, and any web hosting ranges will be blocked upon discovery.
-As of October 2018, the wiki has been heavily spammed by a long-term abuser who posts sexual material. As such, the wiki is not navigable without encountering explicit material. No admins or bureaucrats appear to be active.
+The wiki has very few admins and currently only one bureaucrat, and is frequently spammed by a long-term vandal who posts sexual material across multiple pages. Additionally, bureaucrat rights are no longer being given out for testing purposes as a result of a security breach in December 2018.
