Test Wiki:Request for permissions

Request for permissions

You can request administrator, bureaucrat, or other permissions below. To be eligible for bureaucrat permissions, you must fulfill the criteria established in the bureaucrat policy. Generally, this means 4 days of being an administrator and having 10 edits total, with exceptions. Interface administrator rights can only be granted by the stewards and are only given to highly trusted users. Abuse filter administrator rights may be requested here, but two stewards must support your request. These rights are only granted to trusted users for non-test reasons. If two stewards do not support your request, please request abuse filter administrator rights at the community portal. All rights will be removed after 3 months of inactivity. Other Permissions: Bot, translate administrator, interwiki admin, autopatrol, election administrator, For Steward or System Administrator, a vote should take place on the community portal. Bureaucrats, you can use the userRightsManager gadget to easily handle requests. Please note that you should make a confirmation edit, then link to the diff on the other wiki, when specifying cross-project accounts.

Comments by the requester (optional): As of 2025, the most compelling argument for testing administrator rights focuses on the validation of "Human-in-the-Loop" (HITL) failsafes against increasingly aggressive automated moderation. As wikis such as Wikipedia, lean more heavily on Abuse Filters and AI-driven anti-spam bots, there is a rising risk of "algorithmic collateral damage"—where legitimate contributors are accidentally blocked or silenced by overzealous code.

A test wiki serves as a vital laboratory for defensive calibration, allowing administrators to practice the precise overrides necessary to correct these automated errors. By experimenting with administrator rights in a sandbox like TestWiki, a user can A/B test filter sensitivity to ensure that technical responses, such as soft-blocks, remain proportionate to the offense. This practice is essential for drilling "emergency override" protocols; in the event of a malfunctioning global script or a "bot-war," an administrator must have the muscle memory to instantly revoke bot flags or lift sitewide protections without hesitation.

Ultimately, this approach reframes the test environment as a resilience incubator for the wiki's human capital. Rather than viewing the administrator role as merely janitorial, testing allows for the refinement of "educational blocking"—turning a technical penalty into a pedagogical moment that guides new users instead of driving them away. By validating interface customizations and security protocols in a safe space, administrators ensure that their live interventions remain human-centric, precise, and supportive of the wiki’s open-editing philosophy.
