Hi. If you would like to test the wiki, use the Sandbox instead of creating real articles. -- Tegel 11:36, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi. In fact I tried just that - I'm writing an agent (using api.php) that converts doc files to wiki pages. However, I got the message that I need protect right to edit the Test Sandbox page... Is there a way around that? I will blank the page Test2 when my tests are finished, of course. --Fuchs 11:44, 18 July 2011 (UTC)


 * You don't need any special right to edit the sandbox. And the other problem is that even if you blank the page it doesn't disappear. It will still be there. Can you use your user page User:Fuchs for this? -- Tegel 11:48, 18 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Sure thing, I'll use my user page. Is there something similar to the Sandbox for file uploads? Location that gets deleted regularly? Thanks. --Fuchs 11:56, 18 July 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't think so. I don't think that this is a place for this type of tests. My suggestion is that you download the Mediawiki software and install it on your own server. Then you can do all the tests with full access. Maybe you can get some help on these pages: User hub, Sysadmin hub or Developer hub. -- Tegel 12:03, 18 July 2011 (UTC)


 * I have done that already, and it works fine. But it's still interesting to see if we could also post articles on public wikis with my converter, you see :)? I'll have a look at the developer hub though. Cheers. -- Fuchs 12:10, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
