Hi all,
This is a heads up that we've added a small new feature which hopefully
will make things less painful for users across the projects: the ability to
refresh the CAPTCHA you're presented without refreshing the entire page. It
should work everywhere ConfirmEdit can throw the image CAPTCHA at someone:
account creation, login, the edit form, etc. (It won't modify the simple
math CAPTCHA, and so on.)
The original enhancement request for this (
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14230) goes back to 2008. A
patch was submitted back in January by lalei:
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/44376/
If you want to test this out yourself before it's deployed, you can use

Forgive my awful pun in the subject line,
