connect test.wikipedia to wikidata (for lua experimenting)
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

we removed the connection between test2 / test wikipedia and the real wikidata, because of bug 61893

this makes it more difficult for users to experiment with infoboxes and lua stuff.

looking at test.wikipedia.org, it does not have qunit tests enabled there. So the issue we had with test2.wikipedia.org should not occur if test.wikipedia is connected to wikidata again.

suggest we re-connect test.wikipedia to wikidata to allow a place for experimenting with lua, templates, etc.

Can we connect test.wikipedia with test.wikidata?

I'd like to be able to create pages on test.wikipedia, create items for those pages on test.wikidata, and then merge the items. My purpose is to build test case that ensure that the behaviour of pywikibot in these scenarios is 'sane' - consistent errors where necessary, and graceful handling of transient non-fatal changes due to the merge where appropriate.
