I thought I had an account on wikitech, but apparently I was mistaken. Nor can I create an account on wikitech, nor edit that page. If I could, though, there would not be much to add.
I don't really see the connection between having a docs page on wikitech for test2 and using test2 in a responsible way for staging production code.
I agree that deployers should be able to document things about the test environments they use in a good place, even if the need is occasional.

It seems like http://wikitech.wikimedia.org/view/How_to_deploy_code is the canonical "how to deploy code to WMF sites" instructions, so it should include a "stage on test2 before you deploy to the public-facing sites" step. But where?
