I did setup a wiki and have a look at this briefly. Can you confirm what extensions you are loading? When you setup the wiki it generates a localsettings.php file that lists the extensions:
[image: Inline image 1] # Enabled Extensions. Most extensions are enabled by including the base extension file here # but check specific extension documentation for more details # The following extensions were automatically enabled: wfLoadExtension( 'ConfirmEdit' ); wfLoadExtension( 'InputBox' ); wfLoadExtension( 'SpamBlacklist' ); wfLoadExtension( 'TitleBlacklist' ); wfLoadExtension( 'WikiEditor' ); I think if you have that ConfirmEdit extension you can enable captcha when creating new pages / editing existing ones. In addition, there do seem to be some spam extensions that come built in. J.P.
