:::I'm not protesting this, but I just want to say that you can test the translation, Flow and Forum extensions without administrator rights. --[[User:Anton|Anton]] ([[User talk:Anton|talk]]) 08:46, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

::::Well, it's hard to know what Turtle84375 was looking to test, but most likely, they were looking to test certain [[mw:Extension:StructuredDiscussions|Flow]] and [[mw:Extension:WikiForum|WikiForum]] functions that are ''only'' available to the <code>[[TestWiki:Administrators|sysop]]</code> group. Also, we have to remember that this is a TestWiki and <code>[[TestWiki:Administrators|sysop]]</code> is essentially akin to <code>[[TestWiki:Users|user]]</code> whereas <code>[[TestWiki:Bureaucrats|bureaucrat]]</code> is akin to <code>[[TestWiki:Autoconfirmed users|autoconfirmed]]</code> users '''who are trustworthy'''. (Credit to Naleksuh for the apt analogy.) Hope that helps. [[mh:meta:User:Dmehus|Dmehus]] ([[User talk:Dmehus|talk]]) 17:27, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

:::::{{ping|Anton|Dmehus}} Sorry for seeing this late, yes, I essentially requested Administrator permissions to gain access to certain functions on WikiForum, such as forum creation and finding out what different functions Admins have in the extension, and also to see whether Flow would be good for me to install into one of my wikis, hence the need for me to fully inspect the function of the extension. As for translation, I was looking to see what "Mark for translation" does. I apologize if that wasn't too clear.
