I would like to configure re-captcha in the following way (good or bad), and would like to know if it is possible;

A) Non-registered users can edit any page, but always get a captcha B) Registration requires a captcha C) Registered users never see a captcha

Copy into LocalSettings.php:

    $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['skipcaptcha'] = false;
    $wgCaptchaTriggers['createaccount'] = true;
    $wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['skipcaptcha'] = true;

Ahhhh...

Actually I needed;

< $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['skipcaptcha'] = false; < $wgCaptchaTriggers['createaccount'] = true;

   $wgCaptchaTriggers['edit'] = true;

< $wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['skipcaptcha'] = true;

That way I also (hopefully) stop the anonymous 'non-link spam' spam.

Thanks very much for your help.

Dan.

This seems to be the best balance of non-invasive vs. strict policy that I can think of (assuming that human created spammer accounts are rare and easy to kill).

Currently I have it set so that no user can edit unless logged in (requires a captcha to create an account) and even when logged in, adding links to a page triggers the captcha. I think this is too restrictive / too invasive.

Any hint on how to set it up like the above?

Cheers,

Dan.

P.S. See MetaBase at http://BioDatabase.Org !!! (or not, its up to you really).
