Enable CAPTCHA for all edits of non-confirmed users on pt.wikipedia in order to reduce editing activity This setting was initially enabled as an emergency measure on 2008-01-25 (according to an accompanying code comment). Subsequently, the community was notified, mentioning automated vandalism as a problem (cf. <https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:PermaLink/9164430#Activa.C3.A7.C3.A3o_de_Captcha_para_edi.C3.A7.C3.B5es_por_IP>). Recently, this setting was disabled (cf. bug 41745). This has resulted in a marked increase in the number of edits to the site, leading to a vote to re-enable the CAPTCHA in order to reduce editing levels: <https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Permalink/36159039>. An accompanying code comment directs a removal of this setting after 2013-12-31. This change partially reverts Id7b9721d9a91a30325160305b6b475ef023fd81f.
