Description Purodha Blissenbach 2012-07-23 13:20:05 UTC 
The message MediaWiki:Asirra-edit is misguiding.
Identifying cats steals susers time while it does not protect against automated edit SPAM at all, no matter how many cats are identified.

I suggest to correct it to more clearly reflect reality.
For instance, "This wiki tries to protect against automated edit spam. It requires that editors pass a test showing that they likely are not bots on each edit. Please select just the cat photos in the box below:"

I didn't even know my extension is on translate wiki, and in fact it isn't. This message i no part of Extension:Assira, it may be part of that fork in Extension:ConfirmEdit, which I don't support!

I consider Extension:Assira the only official version, and don't bother about mistakes in forks. See bug 38623 for a more detailed description.

And now you tell it. I spent considerable amount of time cleaning up the code to have it accepted in ConfirmEdit.
Comment 3 Niklas Laxström 2012-07-24 06:41:34 UTC 
Recategorizing to ConfirmEdit extension.
