Unfortunately I don't think we can add custom groups for users without Wikia staff involvement. Even if we could, it would likely be a big pain in the rear to try to verify every user who participates in the Beta -- there is no Xbox Live or PSN+ account linking function on Wikia, so we'd have to find another way to verify, and this would be likely an administrative nightmare.

Also, I don't really think it's necessary; as you know, our policies require assertions of fact to be cited and referenced appropriately so that anybody can go verify the information for themselves. In that sense, being a Beta tester does not make an editor more or less qualified to edit articles; if the edit contains an appropriately cited assertion, it doesn't matter who makes it.

Thanks for the idea, though!
