I'd like to see an option to require than an editor pass a captcha challenge in order to commit an edit. This would help us cut down on spambot edits while allowing legitimate use if a filter may affect regular editors
Already existant, as also used by Wikipedia: * http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit After installing you can configure (read the Extension: page) who needs to captcha and who doesn't. If you prefer to support the [[reCAPTCHA]] initiative check out: * http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ReCAPTCHA (read from top to bottom if you have problems) If support with these extensions is needed, leave a message on their Extension_talk: page or join #mediawiki on irc.freenode.net [0] -- Krinkle [0] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/IRC#.23MediaWiki
Re-opening. I didn't read the opening post good enough. I thought the request was a way to get a captcha at all for certain editors (not certain edit*s*). But a way for abusefilter to trigger a captcha is interesting and useful!
