Hello,

We only have a few wikis on the beta cluster because it is not strong
enough to support the roughly 900 wikis WMF has in production.

There are some scripts around to setup a local MediaWiki install with a
few extensions but it far from being usable at that point.

I guess the scenario you are writing are going to browse the wiki and
take screenshots while not making any writes.  In this case you can most
probably target the production wiki.

Have you thought of using the enwiki on beta and setting a different
language ?  Appending &uselang=<some language code> might achieve the
desired result.
