Bug ID: 47705
Summary: "Request an account" should be an optional parameter
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: User login and signup
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
The new ACUX includes a string "Can't see the image? <link>Request an
account</link>", forcing any MediaWiki instance to have such page and such
process in place. English Wikipedia does have it but e.g. as far as I know
mediawiki.org doesn't, just like most MediaWiki projects out there.
Forcing MediaWiki projects to have that process if they want to use captchas
for registration is not the way to go. This string should be optional. Or it
could be simply removed from the extension itself, allowing admins to add it as
part of whatever text they want to edit / hardcode in the user creation page.
Also note that, for consistency,
Bug 4845 - CAPTCHA doesn't work for blind people
was open in 2006 and currently has Low priority. Either we think this is an
important problem (and we try to fix it with audio captcha or some post-captcha
system) or then we don't push the ugly patch (a parallel manual process) so
aggressively to all MediaWikis by default.
