Hi Ron
Yes, see Questy Captcha:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit#QuestyCaptcha
You can create your own Q/A.
Also see:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SimpleAntiSpam
This works sometimes also to prevent bots. It can also be altered to block the bot IP
address for a small amount of time (optional).
If they still keep coming, you can change the ConfirmEdit type to "ReCaptcha,
although I see bots break that one too sometimes but these will help.

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Anti-Bot question?
Is there an extension or an easy hack to add a custom anti-bot question to the user
registration page for MediaWiki 1.18?
Thanks,
Ron
