==Captcha== Hi all, a dev suggestion I didn't want to just go ahead and add to "high priority" tasks, as I assume those are selected deliberately: I wondered if it might be possible to turn off the captcha for all logged-in users (or all autoconfirmed users? or creating another user group that trusted users are manually granted permission for, if logged-in or AC doesn't provide enough protection from vandalism?) It would definitely allow me to do more if the captcha were removed (although given what word it is, it's a pretty amazing piece of found performance art to be typing it over and over!) Thanks much and I'm sorry that it's something I have to ask about rather than something I could help do. [[User:Canele|Canele]] ([[User talk:Canele|talk]]) 15:28, 7 January 2019 (EST) ::The captcha is annoying me as well. There's currently a plan to add commonly used websites to a whitelist, which will prevent the captcha coming up most of the time. There's currently a link to the proposed whitelist if you have some websites in mind. Most are journal articles, charities or news websites. ::I'm not sure about turning it off for confirmed users - I think I've seen some people sign up just to link to particular websites but I don't know how often. I've never had the autoconfirm email back so need to check if I am one. ::tagging [[User:Ollie]] [[User:Brettz9]] [[User:JenB]] ::[[User:Notjusttired|notjusttired]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 10:58, 16 February 2019 (EST) :::Oh, yes I should update here: a few of us have started a pretty good list to pick from that--as far as I understand it--requires no special technical expertise to implement, just administrator rights to have access to the page to copy in proposed sites. That list is [[MediaWiki_talk:Captcha-addurl-whitelist|here]]. I still think it'd be great to eventually to have all confirmed users exempted from the CAPTCHA, because making editing more labor-intensive is such a needless accessibility barrier to put on trusted users, but I realize that aspiration is probably significantly more technically involved, so adding good websites to the whitelist would be a wonderful start. I'd be happy to do it myself but someone would need to add me to the sysop group so we need an admin (or maybe actually a bureaucrat) in any event.
