[Commons-l] Commons in the CAPTCHA Hall of Shame

[Zachary Harden]

Greetings Brianna,
 
When making an account, or getting the password wrong, on English Wikipedia, there is a CAPTCHA. When adding external links as an anon. or as a new account, there is a math formula you need to perform.Regards, Zachary Harden> Date: Wed, 19 Dec 2007 11:36:40 +1100> From: brianna.laugher at gmail.com> To: commons-l at lists.wikimedia.org> Subject: [Commons-l] Commons in the CAPTCHA Hall of Shame> > http://www.pineight.com/rant/captcha/> > Commons is listed under "confusing examples":> > Wikimedia Commons links to Special:Captcha which mentions (but does> not obviously link to) Commons:Contact us which links to Commons:Help> desk, which permits anonymous posting.
