- | :+1 from me. No anonymous edits seems like a fair balance between protecting the wiki and protecting spammer's rights to mess it up. --[[User:dneary|dneary]] 07:34, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

However, if it's non-trivial, I wouldn't say the investment of effort in it was worthwhile (IMHO). --[[User:jaffa|Jaffa]] 17:30, 21 June 2008 (UTC) | | :Having said that, if there's a suitable CAPTCHA-type system or plugin we can easily deploy, that'd also be effective.

- | This was a [http://lists.maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-users/2008-June/021627.html proposal sent to maemo-users]. Proposing to continue the discussion here until agreement.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 21:51, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

| |
- | Probably true.
| |

| |
- | Proposal: let's go for incremental changes until the satisfactory level.
| |

| |
- | We had it fully open and we have seen that this is not good enough since

| |

- | Ban anonymous over HTTP, but not HTTPS?

- |
| |

- | If this is not good enough then next step
| |

| |
- | Captcha
| |

- | About anonymous contributors, I think a wiki doesn't compare to a
| |
- | mailing list or a bug report tool. A comma, a number, a vowel or a word
| |
- | might make a lot of sense and be a useful spontaneous contribution in a
| |
- | wiki. The same cannot be said in other media.
| |
- |
| |
- | Myself I have edited anonymously in several wikis just for minor fixes,
| |
- | and I wouldn't have registered to do so.
| |
- |
| |
- | I was already convinced by Jaffa, Frantisek and
| |
- | http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Captcha . Then
| |
- | https://wiki.maemo.org/index.php?title=Task%3AMaemo_brand&diff=2641&oldid=2502
| |
- | came as a proof. :)
