             Bug #: 31294
           Summary: ConfirmEdit confused by protocol-relative URLs
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: any
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: ConfirmEdit (CAPTCHA extension)
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]

    Classification: Unclassified


A IP of de.wiki was telling, that he get a CAPTCHA for a edit, where only a
comma is changed[1].

In my opinion is this a problem with protocol-relative URLs.

The page includes a fullurl to commons. Before the edit the database contains a
http link to commons, after the reparse due to the edit the link to commons is
changed to a protocol-relative URL and ConfirmEdit is seeing a different and
trigger the CAPTCHA -> bad in this case.

We can fix this by editing all templates with fullurl to trigger a reparse with
the Job Queue, but that sounds like many load for the server and also fixed
that problem only on de.wiki.
