Basically, nobody seemed to like my approach of adapting the existing hacky captcha interface for action=edit to action=createaccount.
I would recommend totally rewriting the captcha plugin system in ConfirmEdit to not be awful, and devise a more sustainable and extensible API for creating accounts and displaying confirmation screens. It'd be way faster to tidy up and merge the existing patch and use that 'for now', but as they say "temporary solutions often end up becoming permanent" -- brion On Tue, Aug 27, 2013 at 11:33 PM, rupert THURNER <[email protected]>wrote: > hi, > > yuvi said he is not able to add account creation to the wlm mobile app > because the mw api is not usable. there is a bug filed in march, now > approaching 6 months age: > https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46072 > with priority "high", which means according to andre klapper: > https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bugzilla/Fields#Priority > > "Not the next task, but should be fixed soon.
