Greetings,

Are these captchas already installed on Lunarpedia? If so, why are we still suffering from spambots? What can we do to improve the effectiveness of the captchas? Are there install instructions somewhere?

Hi Charles, as far as I know the regular set of captcha triggers are active on both Marspedia and Lunarpedia, but these triggers only address the following events:
  • 'edit'
  • 'create'
  • 'addurl'
  • 'createaccount'
  • 'badlogin'
The new trigger 'gibberish' needs to be installed. I am not familiar with the wikimedia software installation process, but I think the green parts just need to be inserted in the files ConfirmEdit.php, ConfirmEdit.i18n.php and ConfirmEdit_body.php respectively. Someone with file write access permission on CGI level must do that, I suppose. --Rfc 09:05, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
