the wiki isn't supposed to allow anonymous edits is it? i just got a notification a page i edited got erased and changed to point to a 'chanel handbags' link (see link above)

i went to fix it, and it let me edit without logging in.

the math problem must not be enough of a spam deterrent? should we really be allowing anonymous edits?


We do allow anonymous edits in some specific namespaces. ;(

Test_Day, Test_Results, and Fudcon namespaces.

We moved from the harder graphical captcha to the math one to allow easier access for blind folks. ;(

So, I guess if this starts happening more we need to re-evaluate the math problem vs captcha thing again... but hopefully this was a one off.
