Description

I would like steward rights on the CentralAuth Beta Cluster, please.

I’ve always been curious as to how locking/oversighting/renaming/unmerging global accounts work, and I have been unable to find an admin tool test wiki that offers testing of CentralAuth or a similar extension.

I promise that I will only test these tools on myself or on an alternate account of mine (since you can’t test global locks on yourself!). I will never, never test on another account that I do not control without first getting permission of that user.

Thank you for your consideration.

Not urgent, but still would be appreciated if it is done at some point.

@Aklapper despite not being urgent, can you or someone else at least acknowledge the existence of this ticket and give information about how to proceed?

Most people are on holiday and aren't necessarily checking their bug mail. In any case, I don't think this is a valid use of the beta cluster, which is intended for developers testing code.

@Legoktm understood. However, if that is the case, can you please point me to some other location where testing of global account tools is available (either hosted by WMF or not, it doesn’t matter).

I don't think one is provided, most probably just set up their own MW
