There are plans to enable the write API on the 'real' WMF wikis as well. 
Currently, it's only enabled on test.wikipedia.org (but you probably got 
that from the subject). If you want to test an application that uses the 
write API (i.e. 
action={edit,move,rollback,delete,undelete,protect,block,unblock} ), you 
can do so on the test Wikipedia. It could also be an idea to organize 
edit parties to test how the API and your application handle edit conflicts.

Before the write API is enabled WMF-wide, though, we need you to report 
your experiences with it. If you find a bug or have a suggestion for an 
improvement, please file it at Bugzilla [1] (don't forget to set 
Component to API). If it's working just fine for you, we *also* want to 
know: in that case please reply to or vote for bug 14210 [2]. This 
doesn't just apply to action=edit (which is probably the most popular 
feature), but also to the other modules.
