Requesting Sysop access on the beta cluster. I will be committing a change to the Antispoof extension that will require editing some MediaWiki: pages to test properly.

Could you elaborate why would this require Sysop? What does "some MediaWiki: pages" mean in this case?
Note that changes will reach the beta cluster only *after* getting merged at Gerrit, so you might want to instead have a local test instance and then test there before submitting to Gerrit.
I believe I would need it on en.wikipedia.beta and meta.wikimedia.beta. I will be testing interface pages related to the title blacklist and antispoof. Specifically:
MediaWiki:antispoof-conflict-bottom
MediaWiki:antispoof-conflict-top
MediaWiki:Titleblacklist-forbidden-new-account
Possibly others if needed.
I don't think I'll need to create an instance to test the code I'm going to change. They're some pretty minor tweaks and testing on my local machine should be just fine.
We have to wait for T116447, at the moment the whole beta cluster is ready only, so I can not modify userrights, and I wanted, that user users can say something too, if they have concerns etc.
No worries. It's not really an urgent request. I won't actually need to do the tests until after the code is merged. I'm just requesting preemptively so I don't have to wait around for a sysop flag to make sure everything works
Ok, problem at beta is now fixed, to confirm:
- Sysop at enwiki and metawiki beta to edit antispoof related messages
Anyone against this? Otherwise I would assign the rights at tuesday.

but I can't change your rights at enwiki, at the moment you do not have an account there.

Please log in at enwiki, then your account there will be created autoamatically, and then please write here, that you got one, than I can change your rights there.
