Just tried creating an account on the pma wiki to add a note about $.sprintf(), but this captcha is horribly hard to read (and every time i mistype i have to reenter the password) - can't we replace it with recaptcha or something?
It should be possible to replace it with recaptcha, any strong opinions against it?
Actually looking at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit#ReCaptcha it might not be the best idea:
Unfortunately, reCAPTCHA might be a victim of its own success - as of 2011, some spammers appear to have figured out a way to bypass it, either through character recognition or by using humans. For that reason, it is not necessarily recommended.
Though I'm still open to other opinions.
How about some own anti-spam solution ala http://www.90percentofeverything.com/2011/03/25/fk-captcha/
Let me know if I can assist with anything. Maybe there's some honeypot / timestamp analysis thingy for mediawiki somewhere?
There's also seems other solutions than using a captcha on the mediawiki site: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Combating_spam

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable. Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes sense of it. IT sense. And common sense. http://p.sf.net/sfu/splunk-d2d-c2 _______________________________________________ Phpmyadmin-devel mailing list Phpmyadmin-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/phpmyadmin-devel
