Wikipedia:Requests/Permissions
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.

- Motive for request: I am working on some user scripts that involve admin actions, so it's better to test them here instead of on a content wiki. Thank you!

- Hi! Since you've no advanced rights on a content project I've some questions: Firstly, on what kind of scripts are you working that require admin access, since you wouldn't be able to use them on content projects. Furthermore, if the right is granted, it's unlikely that it will be permanently due to the lack of advanced rights elsewhere. For how long would you need the permissions? -Barras talk 21:09, 6 October 2026 (UTC)
- This is my User:TypeInfo/test.js script. I need it for a month. TypeInfo (talk) 18:48, 7 October 2026 (UTC)
- Looking at the script, there appears to be no reason to have admin rights to use/test it. -Barras talk 16:04, 14 November 2026 (UTC)
