My original request was almost entirely pragmatically driven: 1) We were seeing a lot of automated spam through anonymous edits. 2) Anonymous edits were showing up as 127.0.0.1 over HTTP. They are different issues, but (2) is both a blessing and a curse: * You can't enable anonymous edit over HTTP with *no* audit trail (surely?) * You can use this to ban anonymous edits over HTTP, but not over HTTPS. The spam problem can be solved using a captcha. Personally, grammar errors annoy me, and drive-by fixers will get my blessing. Since it appears the captcha plugins for anonymous edits are trivial to implement, I suggest we do that. Presumably Niels or someone should have a new issue assigned to them with that work item in? Anonymous edits to maliciously vandalise - rather than automated spam - don't yet appear to be an issue. I'd suggest crossing that bridge when we get to it.
