==Regex for Whitelist== {{collapse top}} It looks like Regex is needed rather than just the domain names, hopefully this can be tested to check the format is right for a few addresses. [[User:Notjusttired|notjusttired]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 16:30, 20 March 2019 (EDT) /^(.)*\.nih\.gov$ /^(.)*\.cdc\.gov$ /^(.)*\.ac\.uk$ /^(.)*\.cdc\.edu$ /^(.)*\.phoenixrising\.me$ /^(.)*\.s4me\.info$ /^(.)*\.dx\.doi\.org$ /^(.)*\.springer\.com$ /^(.)*\.wiley\.com$ :Hey [[User:Notjusttired]], curious where you learned this about Regex? From the example originally listed on the Suggestions page, it looks like URLs suffice: https://www.wikilawschool.net/wiki/MediaWiki:Captcha-addurl-whitelist but thatβs really all I know about the subject so Iβd be grateful to hear any more info you have! [[User:Canele|Canele]] ([[User talk:Canele|talk]]) 17:46, 20 March 2019 (EDT) ::[User:Canele] I found it described as Regex in the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit Confirm Edit extension configuration info]. The open to turn off the Captcha for certain groups of users might be better? Perhaps based on a number of previous edits rather than account age? Notjusttired 20:24, 20 March 2019β :::I see--well this is probably above my technical wherewithal (I'm not seeing that string but I definitely could be overlooking it/something that should make obvious to me that's what's needed). In any case I agree a skipcatpcha user group, as suggested by that page, would be great; and even better if it could be set to kick in automatically at a certain number of edits, so we wouldn't have to find someone with admin rights each time a new contributor reaches the threshold. The main difficulty I see is that getting it set up does look a little bit involved and we haven't even been able to find an admin to help with this. (Also, in a totally ideal world, I'd love it if the completely reliable sites were whitelisted even for brand-new contributors. Really don't want to do anything to make it harder for someone to help!) Do you have any suggestions, [[User:Notjusttired|Njt]], about who we could contact for help with any of the above (off-wiki, if necessary, since I have the impression folks may not be seeing this)? [[User:Canele|Canele]] ([[User talk:Canele|talk]]) 23:58, 20 March 2019 (EDT) ::::(I should add, I'm mindful people may not be on here because they just don't have the bandwidth, which is totally fair; don't want to assign anyone work. Rather, it's that I'd be glad to take on the task of fiddling around until I figure out the whitelist, for instance, but I don't have the right perms for that and I don't know who I should ask about helping.) [[User:Canele|Canele]] ([[User talk:Canele|talk]]) 00:02, 21 March 2019 (EDT) :::::A piece of good news: if you look at the diffs from the example site that link gives, it looks as though it only requires the URLs, no extra formatting. You can see someone adding a URL [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Captcha-addurl-whitelist&diff=prev&oldid=710063 here], for instance. (If you go through the history a bit, you can see in fact just how it was formatted; that [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Captcha-addurl-whitelist&diff=prev&oldid=686232 here] for instance, the https:// prefix had to be removed for the site to be whitelisted correctly.) If same is true here, that's not so bad. Just need the perm to access the page... [[User:Canele|Canele]] ([[User talk:Canele|talk]]) 00:07, 21 March 2019 (EDT) {{collapse bottom}} Resolved below.
