If we have a spam banner for actual wiki entry articles, then an editor may place said spam banner on article if he/she ''thinks'' the article is spam (but isn't 100% sure) – and this would then promt other editors, or even the original poster to weigh in with a discussion (on its talk page).

From the reports I've seen on the MWusers.com forums (I'm a moderator there, so I see almost every post, but these are anecdotal, so take with a grain of salt), FancyCaptcha still seems to work. -[[User:Gwsuperfan|Gwsuperfan]] 23:48, 4 July 2011 (PDT) | ||

:::: | :::: {{Mw|Extension:ConfirmEdit|ConfirmEdit}} is working if you activate the best module for the job. So far it seems that only {{Mw|ConfirmEdit#QuestyCaptcha|QuestyCAPTCHA}} is doing the job. After it was enabled [[spam]] decreased by > 95% on e.g. [https://www.Semantic-MediaWiki.org Semantic-MediaWiki.org]. I guess Mark should organise the change asap.
