-'''Referata TestWiki''' is a sandbox [[test wiki]], hosted by [[Xauroflaux]] 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.  Based on the recent changes and the logs, it appears that the [[wiki]] was started in early April {{tag|FoundedIn2017|2017}}, and then was left dormant for almost a month.  However, as of recently, Xauroflaux has started to be active again.  The main page advertises that anyone can become an [[Sysop|administrator]] for {{tag|testing}} purposes, although no one has done so yet, and therefore it is unclear what this process actually entails.
+'''Referata TestWiki''' is a sandbox test wiki, hosted by [[Xauroflaux]] 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 administrator rights for testing purposes. Users can simply make a request on a respective noticeboard. Currently, Xauroflaux is the only bureaucrat, but other users can be promoted after certain requirements are met.
+Due to severe and persistent problems with vandalism and sock puppetry, many pages are either semi-protected from all editing 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.
