::::::::I'm opposed to this idea, one test wiki is good enough and as mentioned on discord centrelauth would be restricted which will make it untestable to users. [[User:Cocopuff2018|Cocopuff2018]] ([[User talk:Cocopuff2018|talk]]) 19:25, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

:::::::::TestWiki should be committed to providing the best place to test the most amount of MediaWiki tools possible. Central Auth is a pretty integral part of many large Wikis and farms. Hence, allowing users to test its functions would be useful.

:::::::::I have heard some good points though: We don’t have a second wiki, it’s unneeded, it’s hard to install, etc.

:::::::::I would personally suggest that, if we were to implement this concept, that we could create a second wiki that is completely locked from editing, with a home page that describes its purpose is to simply be a second wiki for Central Auth testing.

:::::::::I don’t quite understand the logic of it being unnecessary. If we can provide a place to test tools other testwikis don’t have, that’s a huge positive. I do, however, understand the technical issue of actually installing it. Our two current SAs don’t have the time or ability to install it and I doubt they would be willing to allow a non-system admin install it.

::::::::::Re the second wiki, it could be used as beta for testing extensions before deploying them to prod. [[User:Zippybonzo|Zippybonzo]] ([[User talk:Zippybonzo|talk]]) 19:44, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
