Maintenance [edit]

For admins [edit]

New wiki created [edit]

See I:Exporting.

New test-admin [edit]

What to do to give a user test-admin rights? - for bureaucrats

To be deleted per I:RFD [edit]

What to do when a test has to be deleted per I:Requests for deletions?

  • Step 1: Export all pages through Special:Export
  • Step 2: Save the XML file somewhere safe (on your PC, later we hope to be able to put it on Incubator)
  • Step 3: Delete it (by bot - manually, it's a lot of work!)
  • Step 4: Ping Hydriz on IRC or send him an email so that he can upload it to the Internet Archive. (See item).

Wiki closed/locked [edit]

What to do when a wiki has been closed/locked per m:Proposals for closing projects? - mostly for these users

Deployments [edit]

See Incubator:Software information and news for usage help; see mw:Extension:WikimediaIncubator for documentation.

Timeline [edit]

Beta testing [edit]

We currently have a beta testing wiki set up and available on the Wikimedia Labs cluster.It runs a more recent revision of the software and is the best place to test out stuff. If you would like to try it out, please head over to the Testers' request section to request for the testers right, which would allow you to edit the wiki (currently disabled by AbuseFilter #2). Thanks! :D

  • The beta wiki
  • An obsolete test wiki - Note: This test wiki isn't used at all by the Incubator, as it is mainly just for the Wikimedia tech team to use to see if new code would break the site. Don't use this (and get confused between this and the main beta wiki)!
