| 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.

- Motive for request: Development of the Interceptor countervandalism tool
- Requested rights: Administrator
- Comments: Hello! I'm the developer of the Interceptor countervandalism tool on the English language Wikipedia. I'm going to be adding a feature which allows administrators using Interceptor to block users. I plan to use the administrator role on this test Wiki to make sure my "block" API request functions normally by blocking a yet-to-be-created alternate account. I am requesting this role for a period of one month.
Done.
- Closing rationale: Per last time. Set indefinitely.
TonySt Request #2
- TonySt (talk · contribs · logs), global contribs 15:56, 10 November 2026 (UTC)
- Motive for request: Continued development of the Interceptor countervandalism tool
- Requested rights: Administrator
- Comments: Looking for sysop for testing and development of the Interceptor countervandalism tool. I'm adding a more robust blocking functionality. Since my last request I have become a sysop on enwiki. --TonySt (talk) 15:56, 10 November 2026 (UTC)
- TypeInfo (talk · contribs · logs), global contribs 09:24, 5 October 2026 (UTC)
- 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!
- Requested rights: Sysop
- Comments:
- 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)

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)
Done —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 21:04, 15 August 2025 (UTC)
My user page
Can someone delete my user page on this wiki? Thanks. PorkchopGMX (talk) 22:40, 15 September 2025 (UTC)
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)
Not done stale. – DreamRimmer ■ 10:13, 10 February 2026 (UTC)
Userpage deletion
Please delete User:Bucheon, gblocked. --M7 (talk) 10:31, 19 February 2026 (UTC)
- ShuQizhe placed a locked template on it, so that should be sufficient. – DreamRimmer ■ 10:43, 19 February 2026 (UTC)
- @DreamRimmer Yes, thanks. --M7 (talk) 10:45, 19 February 2026 (UTC)
