On hold What url would you like? We can do http://testers.orain.org, http://mediawiki.orain.org, http://mediawikitesters.orain.org. Dusti^{*Let's talk!*} 15:06, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Isn't this a bit redundant to our existing TestWiki? Kudu (talk) 15:07, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

If I'm understanding correctly - TestWiki is more geared towards flag testing, whereas this would be more towards extensions, skins, etc. - not exactly the scope of TestWiki. Dusti^{*Let's talk!*} 15:27, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Yes, that's the point to my proposed wiki, Dusti. I once looked into doing so on Wikkii, but their advanced hosting went belly up, so I was hoping to try creating this sort of wiki here. As for the URL, I would prefer http://mediawikitesters.orain.org. Arcane (talk) 16:08, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
