Wikipedia:Beta Cluster

Notices
We test software on this cluster before we put it into production on Wikimedia sites. Anyone can create an unlimited amount of accounts to test MediaWiki and user scripts here.

To request changes to the software configuration, the creation of new Beta Cluster wikis or user rights, please file a task in Phabricator.

Please note:


 * This cluster is using CentralAuth so one account will work for all Beta Cluster wikis. For security, we recommend you use a password different from your Wikimedia one.
 * Only a few of the hundreds of Wikimedia wikis have been imported; other wikis may be imported later. If you need to import content from a specific wiki, request it in Phabricator.
 * Technical details:
 * Nova Resource:Deployment-prep: The virtual machines that Beta Cluster runs on (in Wikimedia Cloud VPS).
 * How code is updated.
 * How to add a new wiki.
