MediaWiki:Captchahelp-text
Websites that accept contributions from the public, like this wiki, are often abused by spammers who use automated tools to post their links to many sites. While these spam links can be removed, they are a significant nuisance.
Sometimes, especially when adding new links to a page or registering for an account, the wiki may show you a CAPTCHA or ask you to solve a simple puzzle to verify your humanity. Since this is a task that's hard to automate, it will allow most real humans to make their posts while stopping most spammers and other robotic attackers.
Unfortunately this may inconvenience users with limited vision or those using text-based or speech-based browsers. Please contact the site administrators if this is unexpectedly preventing you from contributing, or for any other assistance or questions.
