Can't Escape the CAPTCHA Cats on MIki
Was trying to edit the QA page to add a link to the @AOOBugs twitter
account. When I go to save I'm prompted with a dialog and a message:
"Your edit includes new external links. To help protect against
automated spam, please select just the cat photos in the box below:"
Although I lack advanced degrees in zoology or veterinary medicine, I
am somewhat familiar with the differences between canine and feline
species. But I cannot seem to get past this screen. Every time I
select the cats and then try to submit the edits, I'm returned back to
the same CAPTCHA dialog. No error messages.
Any ideas?

I will have to try this...what a funny conversation! But I love cats, so I
will do as Jan suggests and select them all. :) LOL!!!!

I am no expert, but when I select the wrong number of cats and press "save
page" I get an error message, asking me to select all cats.
When I select the correct number of cats, and press "save page", I get no
error message but are returned to the page with the updated content.
It is funny though, because now that I did it again (with another url) I
did not get any cats at all. Are you a sysop, maybe that is a difference ?
I also checked the security, I cannot see any special limitations for
external links.
But I think this is one where people like TJ can give a far better answer
than I am able to.
There is another difference, I have a "save page", no "submit page" as you
have.
Sorry for not being able to solve your problem.

I refreshed after I logged in, otherwise it was not showing me as logged in.
Should I be seeing some sort of "validate" or "submit" button that is
different than the "save page" buttom at the bottom of the page? I'm
selecting the cats and then click the "submit page" at the bottom.

HI
I will NOT judge skills detecting animals, but I just added a link to
www.apache.org on my own talk page
There might, of course, be errors in the setup, I am just human :-)
But did you refresh your page, if you use a cached one then that could be
the explanation.

Hi all,
I run into the same problem. I do not get my page saved. In the help
text for that captcha it is mentioned, that there should be a "submit"
near the pictures, but there is nothing.
I'll write a bibliography for my article and need external links.
Kind regards

At least with Chromium, sometimes it is not enough to refresh the page to
see changes: I need to clean the browser's cache. This happens only with
mwiki, though.

If you see cats now your browser has a problem.
I changed the configuration so there are not cats.

I just created a new account, and I clicked on the submit (or whatever
it was) button, not a validate button.
I selected all of the cats, no problem. I liked that when the mouse
cursor hovered over the images, a large version was displayed.
I am using firefox on Linux.

Each time I fail I'm given a different set of pictures. I tried 6
times in a row and failed each time. So I think there is more
happening here than just an occasional ambiguous picture.
A question: for those who report this is working correctly for them,
are you seeing a "validate" or other button associated with the
CAPTCHA? Or are you scrolling down to the "page submit" button at
the bottom of the page?

Make no mistake, everything appeared to be working just fine. I only
mentioned this because Rob had trouble identifying cats... and at least
one photo is a bit ambiguous.

@Jan: I quite agree that a general solution is better; this sure sounds
like the "directory path" problem as described on the extension page.
My policy on new sysops has been, that any committer who asks (or has
problems) can be one; we trust committers not to let their use of karma
exceed their fu. (In addition, I have appointed several non-committers
who have demonstrated their care and caring to my satisfaction.) Maybe,
if things (hopefully!) settle down, I can get around to posting some
draft policy statements on the wiki, for review.

@Andrew: Your suspicions are correct about deleting a test user.
However, users with no active edits (including test dummies) should be
removed after a year, by Jan's maintenance script. Therefore, feel free
to create a test user which will not be a sysop, and hence may show
problems that your regular user (which /is/ a sysop) won't show. If
you're through with the test user, simply delete any edits or pages it
made, and wait for it to go away.

Re: Can't Escape the CAPTCHA Cats on MIki

@TJ: thx for helping regina, however in general I think it is better to
analyze the problem, otherwise we end up all being sysop (I have no problem
with that, as long as we all understand what it means).
The problem is solved by a reconfiguration of confirmEdit as described on
mediawiki extension page.

Re: Can't Escape the CAPTCHA Cats on MIki

I am unable to duplicate the problem.... Primarily because it looks like
when I edit a page, I am not given this page. Well, I did only edit my
user home page since I don't really want to be messing with public pages
and adding arbitrary links even for testing.
I am hesitant to create a test user because I expect that I cannot then
remove that test user....

Hi "TJ",
thanks. I can now write it without the CAPTCHA. For my work it is OK.
Hopefully you find a general solution too.

Hi, Regina,
You are now a sysop, so you shouldn't see the CAPCHA any more. This
fixes your problem, but the general problem remains.

Hi Jan,
I can still not enter a link on my page
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/User:Regina/MYDrafts5. I want to add a
link in the section "References". The cats&dogs captcha appears, I
select all cats and hit "Speichern". But it does not save, I'm back at
the cats&dogs.
I`m using Seamonkey. But I have tried Opera and Internet Explorer as
well. It does not work. Do I need some special rights? Please help, it
is frustrating.
Kind regards
Regina

Hmm.
I cannot really judge if there is a system problem, or you are just all
chasing cats (and the system works).
So I assume there is no system problem, and this is just a case of wild
cats :-) If I am wrong then please say so.
FYI: Both rbircher and imacat have the same access as I to svn and mwiki,
allowing them to do changes, in case it is needed.
With regard to outages, imacat and I receive mail from nagios approx. 2
minutes after mwiki has general response times longer than 10 sec. Infra
also receives the mail but are quite busy at the moment.
With imacat in taiwan and me in spain, we should have a good coverage, even
when I sleep :-)
have a nice day/evening
jan I.

I saw at least one photo where I had to guess, because the photo was
incomplete. More specifically, It was a partial body shot with no head,
or tail. I guessed based on the hair/fur that it was a cat.
