As identified in T246945#6181774, it would be helpful to have a wiki on the beta cluster available for testing the API Portal configuration. This includes proving that the use of $wgNamespaceProtection and $wgGroupPermissions (documented at T249834 and Setting up custom namespaces with restricted write access) are not in conflict with using SUL. This will, once T246949 (the security readiness review of Chameleon/Bootstrap) is resolved, also provide a place on the Wikimedia infrastructure for testing associated with T252462 (the performance review of Chameleon/Bootstrap).

I am aware of this doc for adding a wiki on beta: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Nova_Resource:Deployment-prep/Add_a_wiki -- I'm not sure how out of date it might be (it was updated in Feb 2020, so that gives me some hope). @Reedy was the last person to add wikis (T246511: Create beta viwiki) judging from that task, the wiki seems to mostly be correct.

Are we targetting api.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org in this case?
We can get the the wiki up fairly easily, and then start poking around with config

Comment Actions
James just pointed out that while "api" is not currently a language code, it's certainly possible it might be in future. Certainly any two or three characters potentially fall under this
[19:21:12] <James_F> apa is the code for the Apache macrolanguage cluster.
[19:21:25] <James_F> So it'd be plausible for one of the Apache languages to be granted api in the future.
As such, for the dbname we shouldn't just use apiwiki (to save pain later) as the dbname.
At point of creation, dbname doesn't matter at all, as we can map it to the hostname
This obviously affects T246945 too
As such, wikimediaapiwiki or something is suggested. As long as it's something obvious (ie not labswiki == wikitech), it doesn't matter too much, so definitely not much thought needs to be put into this

We are fine with your choice of dbname. You could also consider 'apiportal', but we are OK with whatever you think is best.

Wiki created and working fine - https://api.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Main_Page (note https://api.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org doesn't work due to caching. That should fix itself)
Permissions and restrictions as per T249834: Configure permissions not done yet, pending some further clarification

Mobile view no works per default, but there is option. See screenshot.
Because Varnish doesn't know to redirect api.wikimedia

Per my comment on T246945, the mobile view in the screenshot works for us. We don't need the site to redirect to m.api.wikimedia.org. Thanks for checking!
