Well this is odd. My 'wikitcms' project has a bit of code for handling the
captcha system we have on the wiki. It's been working fine for years.
Suddenly, it seems like it's not working any more. When I try and make an
edit that requires a captcha solve with wikitcms, it fails.
I have verified six ways from Sunday that wikitcms is parsing the question
correctly, producing the correct answer, and sending the correct params
back to mwclient - 'captchaid' and 'captchaword'. I have even stuck a
couple of log lines in mwclient to check that 'captchaid' and
'captchaword' are in the params it sends along to the mw API, and they
are.
I have tried with old versions of both wikitcms and mwclient - old
versions I know were working, because we got validation events for the
last couple of months - and no dice. So *something* must have changed
outside of wikitcms and mwclient, and I wanna say it's on the server end,
but I don't see any huge changes in
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Special:Version , and I get the same errors
from both stg and prod wiki.
So...what the hell gives?!
This is a major issue because relval can't create release validation pages
ATM.
