What's wrong with testwiki? →Σσς. (Sigma) 19:42, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

Actually, you can ask User:Alexf to unblock you, because limited testing in userspace is allowed without a bot flag per WP:BOTPOL and you have clearly indicated who the operator is. Approval is needed for non-userspace edits or at least some sort of confirmation for large testing. You should best use bot's userspace though. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 20:07, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

Unblocked per above. -- Alexf^(talk) 20:15, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

Thank you Hellknowz and Alexf. since I had already discussed with Alexf, I have made this BOT flag request. Now I find unblock status, so I withdraw my request. Thank you All--Neechalkaran (talk) 20:30, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

Note you probably shouldn't be using enwiki to test or demonstrate a bot you're going to use on other wikis. Test it and demonstrate it on those other wikis instead. Anomie⚔ 21:51, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
