Summary: CAPTCHA can be required when logging in from
toolserver
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
>From time to time, the wikimedia servers will decide that a CAPTCHA is required
to log in from toolserver hosts such as nightshade.toolserver.org. Once this
happens, bots on the toolserver can no longer log in until the CAPTCHA
requirement is (automatically) lifted. But there is nothing an individual bot
maintainer can do to resolve the problem except turn off their bot and wait.
One solution would be to exempt toolserver hosts from the CAPTCHA, but that may
not be the most desirable solution for various reasons. Maybe there's a better
fix?
This is a tracking bug for possible solutions.
