[testwiki] Feedback needed on test page content proposal for test.wikipedia.org

Audience:
* Folks who patrol and use testwiki regularly

TL;DR:
* WMF would like to add some content to testwiki to support testing
MediaWiki deployments.
* That content may be seen as conflicting with
[[testwiki:Wikipedia:What Test Wiki is not]]'s "content or anything
meaningful" clause.
* What reasonable compromise to allow this class of testing content
can we establish?

I have just opened a "Adding some local content pages for Pretrain
project testing" [0] topic on testwiki's Village pump. The TL;DR above
is the gist of the post. We are working on a project called Pretrain
[1] that is creating a new automated MediaWiki deployment process.
This project needs some test content on testwiki to help validate the
deployments there using a new "automated supervision" [2] process we
are developing. The imagined test content may conflict with
interpretations of testwiki's "What Test Wiki is not" [3] guidance.

I would like to find compromises / compensating controls that make it
possible to add the desired testing pages to testwiki without causing
problems for the folks who patrol that wiki or polluting the internet
with stale copies of content articles that might confuse readers. If
you are a person who regularly patrols testwiki edits, periodically
cleans up testing garbage that accumulates there, or has another
reason to care how testwiki content is managed I would appreciate your
feedback on the Village pump proposal [0]. I am hoping to reach an
initial agreement rather quickly, but certainly do not want to rush
reasonable debate about our options.
