Bug ID: 56485
Summary: Catches non-http/https links, but cannot whitelist
them via MediaWiki:Captcha-addurl-whitelist
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: master
Hardware: All
URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(
technical)#Contains_external_links
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: ConfirmEdit (CAPTCHA extension)
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
The ConfirmEdit extension allows for local wikis to whitelist links using
[[MediaWiki:Captcha-addurl-whitelist]]. But this only allows for whitelisting
http and https links, even though the extension will trigger a captcha for any
protocol.
The question here is twofold:
1. Should ConfirmEdit trigger captchas for other types of links in the first
place?
2. If so, how can we extend [[MediaWiki:Captcha-addurl-whitelist]] to allow
these to be whitelisted?
Personally, I'm inclined to answer "yes" and "Perhaps add flags like in
[[MediaWiki:TitleBlacklist]], one of which would indicate that this line should
not be prefixed with /^https?:\/\/+[a-z0-9_\-.]*/"
