             Bug #: 38597
           Summary: MediaWiki:Asirra-edit - message needs better wording
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
               URL: https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Thread:Support/About_Me
                    diaWiki:Asirra-edit/en_(2)
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: [other]
        AssignedTo: [email protected]

    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---


The message MediaWiki:Asirra-edit is misguiding.
Identifying cats steals susers time while it does not protect against automated
edit SPAM at all, no matter how many cats are identified.

I suggest to correct it to more clearly reflect reality.
For instance, "This wiki tries to protect against automated edit spam. It
requires that editors pass a test showing that they likely are not bots on each
edit. Please select just the cat photos in the box below:"
