    Allright. Progress in making The ConfirmEdit extension work. The ConfirmEdit is now called for page save and such though I've been unable to get the TeX -> PNG rendering to work so it gives an error and prints the math problem in text instead of as a picture.

    So SimpleCaptcha is known to be easily penetrable by existing bots and the current state of MathCaptcha very closely resembles that and is easily solveable by non-bodies ( i.e. bots ).

    The Spam Blacklist extension is installed, using blacklist from meta.wikimedia.org and appears to be working correct.ly

    Aight. Systems are running on Debian GNU/Linux 6.0 ( Squeeze ). Back-ups are working, what was lost in the MySQL meltdown on the old server have been added to the Voting pages ( I hope in a reader-friend. MediaWiki is the latest version as of Wed 2012-04-11 ( 1.18.2 ) so that was an EIGHT MAJOR REVISIONS UPGRADE in one run after editing ONE LINE of the updating scripts which caused an error ( note: MediaWiki is solid ).

    Next steps will be...

    1. ) Installing both CAPTCHA and a regexable blacklisting starting off with "Xanax", "Viagra" and "Cialis".
    2. ) OPENING UP THE DEVELOPMENT WIKI FOR EVERYONE ( except the bots ) to edit !!
    3. ) Celebrating 10 yrs of Consum(er)ium development work online on Wednesday April 25th, 2012
