[OSM-talk] Editing wiki asks for confirmation code?

[Stephan Knauss]

Hello Skyler,

I also think something on the reCaptcha code is broken on mobile setup.

Most of us are probably already promoted to "autoconfirmed". This 
completely skips the ReCaptcha.
"Perform CAPTCHA-triggering actions without having to go through the 
CAPTCHA (skipcaptcha)"

Your account does not belong to this group:

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AUserRights&user=Dead10ck

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Unconfirmed_user

So more strict captcha rules apply.

OSM wiki is using this:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit#ReCaptcha_(NoCaptcha)

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Special:Version

While it will not solve the underlying issue, making some further proper 
edits on a desktop brower with working ReCaptcha will make you 
autoconfirmed soon, so issue no longer bothers you.

For reproduction tests of this issue, the tests need to be done with a 
user account not autoconfirmed.
