Summary: The ConfirmEdit extension enables a simple text Captcha
Description:
The ConfirmEdit extension enables a simple text Captcha that will probably not allow most bots to edit your site. It was designed largely by Brion Vibber. The FancyCaptcha and reCAPTCHA addons create more complex image captchas. Captchas are a way of combating automated edits, helping to ensure that wiki edits are being made by real humans rather than bots. This can be particularly useful for reducing the problem of wiki spam, but captchas reduce accessibility and cause inconvenience to human users.
