LLMs solving Questy?

Hej! I didn't have any problems with spam registrations for years. Only recently spam registrations are flooding my two wiki projects. I used Questy with two wiki specific questions. I tested the questions with mistral.ai and it can solve these questions...

Does anybody have a good solution? I really don't want to confirm registrations - that is stealing my life time...

Same happened in my wiki in the last few days, unfortunately. The Extension Manual as been updated with this suggestion using dynamic Questions: https://www.thingelstad.com/2013/07/09/stopping-mediawiki-spam.html

I haven't tried this yet, maybe this helps? UsualyWeJustSayPlease (talk) 19:03, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

Captcha for read access?

Hi, I know that ConfirmEdit, as the name suggests, is primarily concerned with editing, not read access, but what if you want Captcha, as I do, to put up a soft barrier against excessive bot activity and its negative impact on CPU and concurrent entry processes? They would still visit the site and sure, many would be able to crack challenges, but it would still save you a lot of much needed bandwidth. In my experience, scrapers, bots looking for vulnerabilities and what not have really become a plague these last few years, to the point that your .htaccess and robots.txt settings are not enough to offer the appropriate amount of protection.

If it is not the right job for ConfirmEdit (I suppose not), are there any extensions available that can do it and that maybe hook into ConfirmEdit? Rand(1,2022) (talk) 09:35, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

Okay, I went ahead and created a rough version of such an extension myself. Rand(1,2022) (talk) 18:56, 2 March 2025 (UTC)

Class "Turnstile" Not Found on Mediawiki 1.43.0

Hello,

We recently updated (fresh-installed) our MediaWiki Installation to 1.43.0, but we're constantly encountering the following error:

&action=edit Error: Class "Turnstile" not found

Backtrace:

Is anyone getting a similar error?

Your help will be greatly appreciated! 173.198.71.102 01:10, 26 February 2025 (UTC)

Our configuration is as is:

wfLoadExtensions( array( 'ConfirmEdit', 'ConfirmEdit/Turnstile' ) );

$wgCaptchaClass = 'Turnstile';

$wgTurnstileSiteKey='';

$wgTurnstileSecretKey= '';

However, we are still getting this error even when we enable ReCaptchaNoCaptcha or SimpleCaptcha. 173.198.71.102 01:12, 26 February 2025 (UTC)
