I am being asked to provide a captcha after attempt to edit page, but boxes not provided to enter data. Wnbrmelbourne (talk) 06:13, 26 August 2018 (PDT)

- There is a change to the ReCaptcha method used, since the upgrade to MediaWiki 1.31, which I did last Friday. The new method is called RecaptchaNocaptcha, and is described as follows:
The new generation of ReCaptcha, called NoCaptcha, was introduced by Google back in December 2014[2] and reduces the need for humans to solve a CAPTCHA. Based on a user-side JavaScript (which can't be controlled by the user the administrator), reCaptcha tries to identify the site user as a human by analyzing his browsing behavior on the page. The user then has to click an "I'm not a robot" checkbox and (in the best case) doesn't have to do anything further to prove he's a human. However, in some cases, the user still has to solve a CAPTCHA image.
If the problem persists, I could revert to the old method, where everyone was presented with a CAPTCHA image. --Robjordan (talk) 05:50, 26 August 2018 (PDT)
