Welcome to test2.wikipedia.org!
What is the purpose of Test2?
In the beginning, test.wikipedia.org ran code directly from NFS, bypassing scap. So it functioned as a staging wiki, allowing you to test changes before deployment. Test2 was created to be a sandbox wiki which wasn't quite so special and slow.
Eventually NFS was decommissioned, and test.wikipedia.org ran the same code as all the other wikis. Subsequently, Test2 was used for testing cross-wiki features in conjunction with test.wikipedia.org and test.wikidata.org.
Although you're more than welcome to test other things on the Test2 wiki as well, you may wish to concentrate general testing efforts on test.wikipedia.org instead, to help keep everything in one place.
