Wikipedia Requests

Wikipedia Test-Wiki is for developers.

Please read this: This wiki does not exist for users to test out random nonsense on an exhaustive basis; it's here for developers to check that changes to the code aren't going to break the live sites. See also: WP:WWD and WP:NOT. Special:ListGroupRights details available usergroups and their rights.

As a result, administrator status is still not going to be given out to all and sundry. This isn't an arena for you to play with the tools, or mess about, nor is it somewhere you should be testing your bots, etc. - If you want a place that is for you to test out sysop tools, etc, try these sites.

Having said that, if you do need administrator status for a particular reason, request this status and ensure that your userpage here is linked to your home wiki project.

Requests for user rights


After creating the subpage, come back here and transclude the page below ({{Wikipedia:Requests/Permissions/Example}}).

  • Motive for request: I'm using testwiki for testing(duh) some of my changes to AFCH, and I need actual pages to be created(since NPP wouldn't work otherwise.) I really don't want to leave these pages littered about, so I'd like admin to delete these leftover pages. (I might also be doing some development work on Twinkle and WikiShield soon, too.)
  • Requested rights: Administrator, patrol
  • Comments:

Since you don't actually have admin rights on any production wiki, we'll most likely not grant permanent admin rights. For how long would you need the rights? -Barras talk 11:36, 7 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe only a month, if I need any more time I'll open another request. Monkeysmashingkeyboards (talk) 17:35, 7 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please make your request for an admin below.

Can a link to Special:SpecialPages be (re-)added to the Main menu on the left (MediaWiki:Sidebar). See https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T394655. Thanks, Ponor (talk) 16:15, 15 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Protection request

I see that a certain LTA has been targeting Wikipedia talk:Sandbox in the past few days. It would make sense to protect the page at least temporarily, with a longer duration if the targeting persists. ToadetteEdit (talk) 16:01, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
