@TJ: thx for helping regina, however in general I think it is better to
analyze the problem, otherwise we end up all being sysop (I have no problem
with that, as long as we all understand what it means).
The problem is solved by a reconfiguration of confirmEdit as described on
mediawiki extension page.

@Jan: I quite agree that a general solution is better; this sure sounds
like the "directory path" problem as described on the extension page.
My policy on new sysops has been, that any committer who asks (or has
problems) can be one; we trust committers not to let their use of karma
exceed their fu. (In addition, I have appointed several non-committers
who have demonstrated their care and caring to my satisfaction.) Maybe,
if things (hopefully!) settle down, I can get around to posting some
draft policy statements on the wiki, for review.

I am unable to duplicate the problem.... Primarily because it looks like
when I edit a page, I am not given this page. Well, I did only edit my user
home page since I don't really want to be messing with public pages and
adding arbitrary links even for testing.
I am hesitant to create a test user because I expect that I cannot then
remove that test user....
@Andrew: Your suspicions are correct about deleting a test user.
However, users with no active edits (including test dummies) should be
removed after a year, by Jan's maintenance script. Therefore, feel free
to create a test user which will not be a sysop, and hence may show
problems that your regular user (which /is/ a sysop) won't show. If
you're through with the test user, simply delete any edits or pages it
made, and wait for it to go away.

Hi Jan,
I can still not enter a link on my page http://wiki.openoffice.org/**
wiki/User:Regina/MYDrafts5<http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/User:Regina/MYDrafts5>.
I want to add a link in the section "References". The cats&dogs captcha
appears, I select all cats and hit "Speichern". But it does not save, I'm
back at the cats&dogs.
I`m using Seamonkey. But I have tried Opera and Internet Explorer as
well. It does not work. Do I need some special rights? Please help, it is
frustrating.
Kind regards
Regina

Hmm.
I cannot really judge if there is a system problem, or you are just all
chasing cats (and the system works).
So I assume there is no system problem, and this is just a case of wild
cats :-) If I am wrong then please say so.
FYI: Both rbircher and imacat have the same access as I to svn and mwiki,
allowing them to do changes, in case it is needed.
With regard to outages, imacat and I receive mail from nagios approx. 2
minutes after mwiki has general response times longer than 10 sec. Infra
also receives the mail but are quite busy at the moment.
With imacat in taiwan and me in spain, we should have a good coverage,
even
when I sleep :-)
have a nice day/evening
jan I.

Although I lack advanced degrees in zoology or veterinary medicine, I

select the cats and then try to submit the edits, I'm returned back to
the same CAPTCHA dialog. No error messages.
Any ideas?
I saw at least one photo where I had to guess, because the photo was
incomplete. More specifically, It was a partial body shot with no head,
or
tail. I guessed based on the hair/fur that it was a cat.
