Forum:CT Archive/Image Code Verification

Wookieepedia &gt; Consensus track &gt; 

I've recently been looking into ways of cutting down on vandalism (as well as the site redesign, which is currently being developed FYI) and I came across the Homestar Runner Wiki who in fact use an image code verification system for all of their edits (go ahead and try to edit an article, though don't vandalize, and you'll see what I mean) and I thought that this might be a good thing to implement...not for edits, but for page moves. It would stop us suddenly having 150 pages moved to PAGENAME is Communism/on Wheels/etc. within a few seconds. While it obviously wouldn't stop it completely, it would cut down on it a lot as it causes the vandal to have to actually look at the image code and then type it in when he wants to move, as well as completely stopping bots from being able to move pages which I actually believe is what happens a lot of the time. Now I admit that it will take a few seconds more to move pages with this system, but how often do we need to move pages en mass quickly, bar when we're moving them back from vandalism? Anyway, I spoke to the creator of the image code extension, and s/he's agreed to share it with us, and is giving me instructions on how to install it if we chose to do so. So are people for or against it? (RMF doesn't get to vote :P j/k)

Use it for page moves only

 * 1) It's my idea, read above to find out why I want to implement it. &mdash;Jaymach Ral'Tir (talk) 15:01, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Well most people use this to comment why they want it...I just want to cut down on the "on Wheels"/"is Communism" etc. vandals. &mdash;Jaymach Ral'Tir (talk) 15:01, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
