I disagree with your comment below in principle. Requiring regular users to modify their behavior because of the actions of a few bad actors just ruins and complicates the experience you are trying to create. Dealing with spammers comes with the territory and is my responsibility, not my visitors.

Stronger fightback. [snip] How many of us would object to giving Wikipedia our mobile phone numbers in order to help prevent spam? or WIkia? It is all about interest and passion. I am sure that even the furries who edit Wikifur would be happy to give up their a mobile phone number inorder to edit pages. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
