Is there some kind of a procedure for setting up a prototype Wikimedia wiki for testing? For example, which articles, templates and special pages should be copied there from the corresponding live wiki?
In the Arabic prototype ( http://prototype.wikimedia.org/release-ar/ ) there are very few articles and all of them have Arabic titles. It makes it impossible to test Bug 26665. I created an article called ABCDE to test it, but to save time and ensure better testing in the first place, creating articles in various scripts and directionalities must be a part of the standard procedure for creating a prototype.
And since i'm mentioning it, http://prototype.wikimedia.org/deployment-ar/ doesn't seem to work at all.

What about importing some sane amount of articles using [[Special:Import]] or a bot (like pywikipedia)?

Some templates ended in a loop, I have blanked it so you can find out which template it was.
