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): In 2026, the most provocative argument for exercising administrator rights on a test wiki is the necessity of Sovereignty Modeling—the practice of treating the wiki as a "Digital Twin" to verify that human intent can still penetrate the layers of autonomous, agent-driven infrastructure. We have moved beyond the era of simple human-to-human moderation; we are now in an age where administrative tools must act as "kill switches" for high-velocity, agentic AI swarms that can overwhelm a database in milliseconds. Testing rights in a sandbox environment is no longer about learning the interface; it is an act of Adversarial Governance. As wikis increasingly rely on "Black Box" algorithms to filter content and manage traffic, there is a looming risk of "Automated Lock-in," where the system’s own security protocols might eventually supersede human authority. By practicing administrative actions on a test wiki, a steward is essentially "red-teaming" the software's hierarchy. They are confirming that a manual block or a revision deletion actually terminates an automated process rather than being ignored or queued by an aggressive AI moderator. Furthermore, this environment serves as a laboratory for Socio-Technical Resilience. In a world where AI can perfectly mimic human editing patterns to spread misinformation, an administrator must use the test wiki to calibrate "Provenance Filters." They are testing whether their administrative visibility allows them to distinguish between organic community consensus and "synthetic consensus" generated by coordinated bot networks. In this light, the test wiki is the only place where an administrator can safely fail to stop a simulated "AI coup" of the knowledge base, ensuring that when the same threat hits the live site, the human-in-the-loop remains the ultimate sovereign over the digital record.
