you, we have
a whole wiki that you can go wild on. You can even have a wheel war
if you want and we won't tell a soul.
Should you really encourage behavior such as wheel warring? Even as a
joke?

As requested, here's the weekly Flagged Protection
update.
As I mentioned last week, we are starting pre-rollout activities while
we finish up the last bits of development. Now that the successful
launch of the new enwiki UI is out of the way, we will be getting
together with Rob H. and the rest of the ops ninjas to discuss release
dates.
Also upcoming is a final pass at the terms and text, some more
fiddling
with cross-browser CSS and JavaScript issues, some work with the
community to figure out the remaining details of the community side of
the trial (keep an eye on RobLa's activity there), and a call for the
nice people at the German Wikipedia to try our shiny new software with
their config and make sure we haven't broken anything for them.
(Regarding that, if some German speaker reading this would like to
help
set up the test site, we could use a hand. Contact me via direct
email.)
The discussion of rollout means that we think the software is, some
minor nits aside, basically ready. Want to be sure? You can test it
out
here, and we'll even give you admin rights [1] to do so:

To see what we've changed this week, there's a list here:

To see the upcoming work, it's listed in our tracker, under Current
and
Backlog:

We expect to release to labs again next week, and each week thereafter
until this goes live on the English Wikipedia.

[1] You know that you [2] have always wanted admin rights!
