Wikipedia:Beta Cluster
The Beta Cluster on the Cloud VPS is a complete, production-like environment appropriate for final-stage testing of new features. It runs on git master and updates the MediaWiki core and extensions code every ten minutes. Beta Cluster is one of the Wikimedia test wikis, it has its own SUL login that is independent from production, therefore an account for en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org will also function on en.wikisource.beta.wmflabs.org but not on any production wiki.
The full database of the Simple English Wikipedia has been imported, and it is the best place to test MediaWiki. You can also look at the site matrix to see all of the available projects.
Because the configuration files are shared with production, they may be seen at https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/. Files in the beta cluster are suffixed with -labs.php.
Notices[edit]
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.
