Description:
(I thought captchas were part of an extension, but I couldn't find it in the
list of MediaWiki extensions.)
Templates such as [[commons:template:nsd]] (no source, date) mark images as
missing source. When anonymous users do this, they are requested to answer a
captcha because of the insertion of external links, presumably because of the
CheckUsage link to Wikimedia toolserver. (A user reported this and it has also
happened to me, when logged out.)
Two possible solutions:
- Toolserver URLs should somehow be marked as non-external.
- Only URLs directly entered by the user should prompt a captcha, not URLs that
happen to be on a template they insert.
thanks.
