Description Brion Vibber 2007-03-14 15:01:14 UTC Tossing in a captcha trigger for a certain string can be a help with managing vandalbots. An interface for admins to be able to enable/disable certain triggers would be very useful. Comment 1 Quim Gil 2013-04-16 06:07:21 UTC https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit#Regular_expressions says "The global variable wgCaptchaRegexes accepts an array of regexes to be tested against the page text and will trigger the CAPTCHA in case of a match." Therefore this was FIXED at some point.
