Thank you both. I had forgotten about the configuration settings for Confirm Edit which I do have installed.They also had the code for "check for new links", so I'll look at it if I go that route. For now I just changed the capctcha to a slightly more difficult one, in ConfirmEdit.

You can configure AbuseFilter for that, or use ConfirmEdit to force them solve a captcha when adding links. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
