Wikipedia Test is a test wiki that runs on the the MediaWiki software. Ordinarily it runs the same version of the code as mediawiki.org (plus other wikis in "group 0"), but may be configured differently with experimental features. The contents of Wikipedia Test may be volatile and buggy.
The Wikipedia Test is for developers to test their code without breaking all of Wikimedia and blowing up the world.
The Wikipedia Test may also be used in a classroom environment for teaching basic wiki editing to avoid the great confusion resulting from creating pages and breaking a regular project, although this may not always be desirable because of the occasional difference between the test interface and a typical Wikimedia project interface.
