'''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 {{tag|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.
