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}}).

The following request has been closed by Barras talk 14:55, 17 March 2026 (UTC) as Done.reply
Closing rationale: Seems to be ok. Granted temp admin rights for one month. Give me a poke, if you need it longer.
  • Since you don't have admin rights on any production wiki, the adminship will usually be only granted temporarily. For that it would be good if you'd explain what kind of script you plan to develop and for how long you need admin rights here. (Please ping me in the answer to get a quicker response.) -Barras talk 09:56, 17 March 2026 (UTC)reply
  • Hi Barras, I'm trying to develop a script requested here. I think a few weeks should be fine, if that is alright with you. Though first I need to see if there's an example account that specifically meets these requirements. TheTechie (talk) 14:48, 17 March 2026 (UTC) reply
