 = bug description =


https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Test_Day:2010-09-16_AnacondaT...

 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.

 = bug analysis =

 = fix recommendation =

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

Comment:

 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.
