Cross-wiki rights on beta cluster
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Hi, I've been running cross-wiki tests on the beta cluster and was wondering if I could do them myself (same username on prod and beta). Some examples:

  • Fixing some of the main page links so that they route to the right place (for one, I discovered a bug where a 403 would happen on loginwiki). Can't do many yet since they are sysop-protected
  • Testing some global filters (for reference, I do have experience writing filters as an abuse filter helper and in prod).
  • Importing tests (as someone who have importupload rights on prod)

I've currently been bugging Majavah for this, who has been kind enough to help, but would prefer if I could do them myself (so that I can test with my alternate account if needed, for instance). Thanks in advance.

I should note that I'm pretty new from a Beta cluster standpoint, so I understand if you deny this based on lack of experience (despite my prod experience). Thanks in advance.

After chatting with Leaderboard and DannyS712 on IRC I went ahead and granted +steward, given there is a valid use case (testing things, which beta is designed for) and they are a trusted user with some elevated access on production too.
