@Florian: The Extension:ConfirmEdit is already installed (included MW1.2X) http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit

Did you already tested the Asirra service?

Asirra is unfortunately a problem for eye vision impaired people :-(

FYI: The AOO community is heavily fighting against spam and have now temporarily turned manual confirmation by admins on. See whole thread on the ML http://www.mail-archive.com/dev@openoffice.apache.org/msg16242.html . Cats and Dogs captcha system they have used was not usable as some browser configurations didn't loaded the images. (without reading the JIRA ticket I can confirm that using Internet Explorer configured so that it doesn't load stuff from other domains will causing problems on many pages - luckily not on any TDF page until now. I'm using this configuration on my Surface2 (Win8.1RT) tablet)

The search for a new / better system isn't finished. A proposal by Jan I ( http://www.mail-archive.com/dev@openoffice.apache.org/msg16255.html ) using http://www.textcaptcha.com/ looks promising!

some markers for me from the website@ML

[...]

but if i already checked the
'This is a minor edit' checkbox, maybe that should have auto filled the
summary.

--> should be doable by using a custom JS or any individual configuration. I will try this next week / this weekend

It would be alot better if the captcha was there on the initial
edit page as i'm assuming it already knows that its going to be put on
the second page.

can this be configured within the extension?

And why is the captcha there on every single edit, it
gets ridiculous. If i give the captcha once, some cookie should be set
for maybe that session or maybe even an hour, so i dont have to deal
with it now that it knows i'm a human. :)

guess: this has to be checked within the config

Ultimately, there needs to be
some type of privileges set for users, so they dont have to deal with
this at all.

this is related to Bug #450 --> add a new user group (+1 from my side!)

so happy editing :-p

recaptcha turned on again. waiting for new reports if there are still any problems... at least the spammer do create enough new templates as these are human driven (supervised!)
