Description

In twn we have this to prevent spam:
$wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['create'] = false;

However LQT doesn't handle it very well, it keeps asking captcha when trying to save. It should say it is not possible, or allow posting replies to threads regardless.

Since Andrew is in the middle of rewriting LQT, hopefully he'll include this.

Nikerabbit: re that bug: we disabled all anon editings a while ago
Nikerabbit: so I have no idea whether the bug still exists

Adding testme keyword.

Still current, see March message in the thread in URL for the needed workaround.

LiquidThreads has been replaced by StructuredDiscussions on all Wikimedia production wikis (except one, which will be done soon). It is no longer under active development or maintenance, so I'm re-classifying all open LQT tasks as "Lowest" priority.

Nemo_bis raised the priority of this task from Lowest to High.Aug 5 2016, 7:34 AM

I really suggest to undo the raising priority action above, which was kept OMFG for 8 years (per https://static-bugzilla.wikimedia.org/bug26383.html). (and, do we still active maintain LQT?)
