--- Comment #3 from Platonides <[email protected]> 2012-11-03 18:56:11 UTC --- There wasn't a community consensus for enabling it, so it isn't really needed for disabling (it was enabled to avoid bot attacks, and it was an oversight to keep it enabled). We had a similar discussion in eswiki years ago [1], which ended back requesting that you needed to pass a CAPTCHA for creating an article (just as a way to annoy vandals, as you are discussing it). At the time there was no way to do that (bug 9099). When it was finally fixed, nobody was interested in enabling that feature anymore, so we closed it (bug 8668). I see absolutely no point on forcing someone which went the extra mile of creating an account to solve a captcha per edit (specially for experienced users, but new on that wiki...). And still, it's not too good for anonymous users. When is that test period expected to begin? 1- http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Votaciones/2006/Introducción_de_un_captcha_para_la_creación_de_artículos_por_parte_de_usuarios_anónimos -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
