l3o <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #9 from l3o <[email protected]> 2011-12-12 19:00:52 UTC --- I have an idea how this problem could be solved: MediaWiki should have an default fund of words, if the wiki doesn't contain enough words (eg. 500 words). Than everytime a captcha should be displayed, a script fetches a random article and two random words. This words will be in the target language, because the are from articles in the same language as the user wants. Than a script would place those two words onto an image, make them a bit unreadable and display them to the user. The user would now have the task to solve the captcha. But there are some problems: - As mentioned: If the Wiki has not enough words, it can't create really random captchas. So, eventually should be included a default fund of words, but this could be a design problem. - Also it would be a problem with the non unicode characters. Eventually it should be coded new, instead of using five millions totally different existing solutions and merge them. - For big pages this could eventually be a performance problem. = And the biggest problem: It would take some time to create all this new code. Also, I don't know if that would be really better than the existing solution. And there would be one desing thing: This would be only a good solution for big Wikis, because there it would be hard to predict the selected words in the captcha, like it could eventually be with smaller Wikis. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
