Migration and upgrade

New captcha is awesome! I barely pass the exam :)

Though, could it be disabled for logged in users? I will probably do some automatic restores from backup. It would stop my bots (they will use my password and login).

Oh, I didn't realize they were on for everything. I will change it only to the creation of accounts.

However, could you make a separate user for your bot, and we can set it as a Bot user. Then it is easier to filter out in the Recent Changes page.

I checked, it is only set to give a CAPTCHA when adding a URL, which is critical for fighting spam. However, I have set it to skip CAPTCHA for bots. So you should create a user for your bot, and then we can give it 'Bot' permissions.

It is probably not big issue, but every regular will see captcha when updates the participants page. This is when I experienced it.

  Your edit includes new external links. To protect the wiki against automated edit spam, we kindly ask you to answer the question that appears below

maybe we should whitelist literumble

or rumblestats will cause captcha each time a edit is done

also dropbox, github, google drive etc. should get whitelisted, which helps when editing rumble participants

I also suggest adding wikipedia/mediawiki which is frequent source of quoting.

I have no permission ;)

btw, I think the \.jar line has no effect, as only host will get matched

per en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Captcha-addurl-whitelist

it seems that the lines should not begin with \, rather \b, as word boundaries, for matching domains.

now it shows error message each time captcha is shown ;(

and I think error/warning messages should be turned off now, as no need to debug anymore

or it will cause precious information to be leaked.

Done
