[Mediawiki-l] Help configuring re-captcha?

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

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).
