Hi all,
Two questions here:
1. Anyone know of an extension that adds a captcha (or similar) to the registration page? I've found plenty that work on edits, but none to prevent the initial spam account creation. 2. Anyone know how to require email upon registration? I know there's the confirm-to-edit configuration I could use which would make this happen, but I feel like I should be able to require email at registering while still leaving edits open to anonymous users.
Thanks. Hope everyone is enjoying the holidays!

Hi Josh
QuestyCaptcha (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:QuestyCaptcha) should enable you to add a captcha at the registration stage. The extension allows you to define a question (e.g. write out the numbers 1 2 3 leaving no spaces) and associated answer (e.g. onetwothree).
I have found the catpcha very successful in preventing the automated creation of user accounts.
Hope this is of help
