Questy captcha is a free form question. You can't learn how to bypass any instance of it. Not even a human would be able to bypass it using just generic knowledge (eg. a foreign speaker). The most that bots could do is to try with common answers such as a the wiki name, or domain. No bot would be able to solve all by itself "Who is the current companion of Doctor Who?"* OTOH it's highly annoying for those users which don't know about Doctor Who, or that for some reason get their answer rejected. I was once denied access by one captcha of that kind (naming the character of the image) despite having found the correct answer, I don't remember exactly what was the issue. So you may also want to provide some email address for appealing. *Once a human instructs it, they are able to use it multiple times at that wiki, though. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
