Bug #: 29452
Summary: ConfirmEdit: don't consider "new external links"
introduced when undoing the latest revision
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: ConfirmEdit (CAPTCHA extension)
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
When undoing a revision that removed some or all of the page content, and that
content contained external links, users are prompted to solve a captcha because
they introduced "new external links", even though they are merely restoring the
page to a previous state.
Whilst it may be a little more work on the back end, correcting this is worth
it for the improvement in user experience.
While such a change would allow a user to revert the removal of unwanted
external links without having to solve a captcha, they would have had to solve
one in order to introduce the links in the first place, so this would not make
things any easier for spambots.
