| MetaWiki requests |
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

- Motive for request: I would like to request permission to edit JavaScript interface pages. So I can test the scripts to improve the functionality of the wiki. I understand that editing these pages can impact the user experience and will proceed carefully.-Gnoeee (talk) 18:16, 30 May 2025 (UTC)
- Requested rights: Interface-admin
- Comments:
- @Gnoeee Since you don't have interface-admin rights elsewhere, I think you should provide a more detailed explanation of why you need them here. Generally speaking, you don't need to edit pages in the MediaWiki namespace just to test scripts. Anyway, which wiki are you referring to by "improve the functionality of the wiki"? Taken literally, it sounds like you're talking about testwiki itself, but since it's not a production wiki, that kind of improvement isn't really necessary. Dragoniez (talk) 12:45, 31 May 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @Dragoniez, I want to test some scripts on MediaWiki namespaces. I have interaface-admin rights on a 3rd party wiki. So I want to test that script on SchoolWiki and mlwiki too.- Gnoeee (talk) 14:57, 31 May 2025 (UTC)

- Motive for request: Testing local securepoll feature for the deployment of T380020 on the Chinese Wikipedia. Per T378287 there should be no pii concern. Previous request link. Stang 19:36, 11 June 2025 (UTC)
- Requested rights: electionadmin
- Comments:
- @Xaosflux: since you checked the useright and it's functionality, can you give some input on the request please, especially regarding the privacy stuff. -Barras talk 21:00, 11 June 2025 (UTC)
- In a production test today with Special:SecurePoll/list/1001, user PII is not currently being made available locally. I suppose it could in the future (such as if there are patch issues), so would only want to issue as a time limited grant. How long do you need to test on testwiki @Stang? -- Xaosflux (foo/bar) talk 21:14, 11 June 2025 (UTC)
- @Xaosflux: This permission is no longer needed after the zhwiki community complete the admin election in October, so I think 5 months is enough for me here. Stang 21:32, 11 June 2025 (UTC)
- OK, 6 months seems reasonable. Let's give this a few days in case anyone has feedback. Ping me if it goes stale. -- Xaosflux (foo/bar) talk 21:55, 11 June 2025 (UTC)
