It's more getting the configuration correct (CommonSettings,
InitializeSettings, database configuration, etc.) working in beta
labs in order to discover any glitches that might occur before doing
these updates in production. test2wiki is of particular concern
because it is a peer node on the production cluster, it shares
configuration with every other node on the Wikipedia cluster. Making
a mistake in test2wiki can have serious consequences, better to make
any mistake in beta labs first.
There's no config change for this, I just gave MatchBot the
'flow-create-board' right on testwiki. We have a dormant wmf-config
patch that creates a "flow-bot" group with this right,
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/181120/ , and yes that should be
tested first on beta labs.
You put MatchBot in the flow-bot group (this group is created by the
Flow extension).
We will need to give the appropriate user group on English Wikipedia the
ability to add users to the flow-bot group (I am fairly certain neither
sysops nor bureaucrats can do that today). I believe this group (the
one in charge of adding bots to the bot groups) is "bureaucrat", but I
would appreciate confirmation from someone familiar with the bot
approval group.
I am fine with testing this config change in Beta Labs.
