Hi Nuno,
Yes, I would prefer testing on a test wiki. We need:
- A MediaWiki instance with current (or newer) Commons configuration +
UploadWizard
- Easy logging in for testers
- Low barrier handing out of admin privileges for trusted people who
want to configure and test
- Stable environment (we don't want to loose all configurations because
someone decided to empty out the database for example)
So http://commons.prototype.wikimedia.org/ worked fine for us, but that needs to be updated and I understand that it was supposed to have been shut down months ago. Labs would be an alternative (http://commons.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/), but that's for some reason always broken when I look at it. At the moment https://test.wikipedia.org/ seems to be the best alternative, the fields are accepted (and I got some nice warnings about foo and bar being too short, and that lat and long are incorrect).
So test it is! (until or unless someone comes up with a better alternative)
Maarten
test.wikipedia.org contains almost-stable code (when it's ready to go for deployment). We should better test it at https://commons.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org I can promote you there if needed.
