             Bug #: 34911
           Summary: [QuestyCaptcha] functionality imrovement
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: any
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: ConfirmEdit (CAPTCHA extension)
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---


CAPTCHA implementations continue to get under pressure. Some plug-ins to the
ConfirmEdit extension may already be considered useless. During the recent days
a discussion has taken place [1] which lead to ideas of improving the
QuestyCaptcha plug-in which seems to be the strongest CAPTCHA implementation
currently available. Since this plug-in requires more administration than the
others the proposed enhancements mainly focus on improving it.

The proposals are:

A) allow maintenance of Q&Ass from the wiki itself. This could ensure that for
example sysops can regularly update the Q&As in case a spam bot does get
through. (siebrand)

B) allow arbitrary selection of of Q&As to be shown for confirmation from the
wiki itself. Thus more dynamic variation would be possible without having to
invent heaps of new Q&As or to remove them. (kghbln)

C) allow statistics on success/fail for Q&As to allow fine tuning. (siebrand)

It would be great to see an implementation for this. People will really love
you for this.
