The '''Wikimedia Beta Cluster''', commonly referred to as merely '''Beta Cluster''', is a small [[wiki farm]] of test wiki running the latest alpha version of {{tag|MediaWiki}} (MW) for {{tag|MediaWiki developer}}s. | The '''Wikimedia Beta Cluster''', commonly referred to as merely '''Beta Cluster''', is a small [[wiki farm]] of test wiki sites running the latest alpha version of {{tag|MediaWiki}} (MW), along with {{tag|Wikibase}} and the plethora of other current {{tag|MediaWiki extension}}s for {{tag|MediaWiki developer}}s. Hosted on {{tag|Wikimedia Cloud VPS}}, the main portal is at <tt>[https://Beta.WMFLabs.org Beta.WMFLabs.org]</tt>. Sometimes incorrectly called 'Beta labs', the WMF Beta Cluster is maintained by {{Mw|Wikimedia Release Engineering Team|Wikimedia Release Engineering}}. Beta Cluster is not intended for [[:Category:Research|research]] or other serious use of content. The Beta Cluster is a functional, production-like environment in the {{Wikitech|Help:Cloud Services Introduction|Cloud VPS}} that is suitable for final-stage {{tag|testing}} of new features. It runs off [[:Category:Git|git]] master, and has its {{tag|MediaWiki}} core and extensions code updated about every ten minutes. Beta Cluster is one of the {{tag|Wikimedia Foundation}} (WMF) {{WMF-Meta|Wikimedia wikis#Test wikis|test wikis}}. It uses its own {{Mw|Extension:CentralAuth|SUL}} login separate from production, so for example, an account for <tt>[https://En.Wikipedia.Beta.WMFLabs.org/wiki/Main_Page En.Wikipedia.Beta.WMFLabs.org]</tt> ([[English Wikipedia]] beta) also works on <tt>[https://En.Wikisource.Beta.WMFLabs.org/wiki/Main_Page En.Wikisource.Beta.WMFLabs.org]</tt> ([[English Wikisource]] beta), <tt>[https://En.Wikinews.Beta.WMFLabs.org/wiki/Main_Page En.Wikinews.Beta.WMFLabs.org]</tt> ([[English Wikinews]] beta), <tt>[https://En.Wiktionary.Beta.WMFLabs.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Main_Page En.Wiktionary.Beta.WMFLabs.org]</tt> ([[English Wiktionary]] beta), <tt>[https://En.Wikibooks.Beta.WMFLabs.org/wiki/Main_Page En.Wikibooks.Beta.WMFLabs.org]</tt> ([[Wikibooks (English)|English Wikibooks]] beta), <tt>[https://En.Wikivoyage.Beta.WMFLabs.org/wiki/Main_Page En.Wikivoyage.Beta.WMFLabs.org]</tt> ([[English Wikivoyage]] beta), <tt>[https://Wikidata.Beta.WMFLabs.org/wiki/Wikidata:Main_Page Wikidata.Beta.WMFLabs.org]</tt> ([[Wikimedia Wikidata]] beta), etc, but <u>not</u> on any production wiki. | ||
