<p><b>New page</b></p><div>=== Request for reCAPTCHA ===<br />
; Homepage<br />
: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ReCAPTCHA<br />
: http://www.google.com/recaptcha/plugins/mediawiki<br />
; Type<br />
: Access extension<br />
; Additional requirements<br />
: reCAPTCHA API key ([https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin/create creation page])<br />
; Installation notes<br />
: Download the [http://code.google.com/p/recaptcha/downloads/list?q=MW-Latest reCAPTCHA extension] and extract it into the directory <code>/extensions/recaptcha/</code>.<br />
: Download a newer version of the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:ExtensionDistributor/ConfirmEdit ConfirmEdit extension] and extract only the files <tt>ConfirmEdit.i18n.php</tt>, <tt>ConfirmEdit.php</tt> and <tt>ConfirmEdit_body.php</tt> into that same directory, replacing the already existing files.<br />
: In the <code>/LocalSettings.php</code>, '''remove''' the following line to disable the original ConfirmEdit extension:<br />
<pre style="margin-left: 2em;">require_once( "$IP/extensions/ConfirmEdit/ConfirmEdit.php" );</pre><br />
: '''Insert''' the following lines to activate the reCAPTCHA extension, and fill in the API key details as required:<br />
<pre style="margin-left: 2em;"><br />
require_once( "$IP/extensions/recaptcha/ReCaptcha.php" );<br />
$recaptcha_public_key = ''; // reCAPTCHA public key<br />
$recaptcha_private_key = ''; // reCAPTCHA private key<br />
</pre><br />
: Finally, update the previously (with the ConfirmEdit extension) made settings to reflect these changes:<br />
<pre style="margin-left: 2em;"><br />
$wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['skipcaptcha'] = false;<br />
$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['skipcaptcha'] = false;<br />
$wgGroupPermissions['autoconfirmed']['skipcaptcha'] = true;<br />
$wgGroupPermissions['bot' ]['skipcaptcha'] = true;<br />
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop' ]['skipcaptcha'] = true;<br />
<br />
$wgCaptchaTriggers['edit'] = false;<br />
$wgCaptchaTriggers['create'] = false;<br />
$wgCaptchaTriggers['addurl'] = true; <br />
$wgCaptchaTriggers['createaccount'] = true;<br />
$wgCaptchaTriggers['badlogin'] = true;<br />
</pre><br />
; Reason for the request<br />
: While the current [[Guild Wars Wiki:Requests for technical administration/ConfirmEdit|CAPTCHA]] offers basic protection, it can be too easily parsed by bots and with the current events it is no longer appropriate. reCAPTCHA offers a standardized way to present the CAPTCHA with an acceptable level of accessibility.</div>gww>Poke
