854774 - make captcha not required for bugzilla.mozilla.org links

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Websites :: wiki.mozilla.org, defect)

Description

[Edmund Wong (:ewong)]

Can *.mozilla.org links be whitelisted with captcha?  

I have bugzilla.mozilla.org links on my userpage and when I modify/add 
bugzilla.mozilla.links  (in the form of {{bug|foo}}), I need to enter
into captcha which is irritating when sometimes I can't even read
the word.

We should ideally also allow accounts older than N weeks/months to post links.

In the nicest possible way, this captcha is driving me up the wall :-(

Correction.

Jason, please may you take a look at this one too? :-)

Please also apply this to our templates that turn into links eg: {{bug|828833}} which keeps triggering the captcha for me.

I didn't want to make this apply to *.mozilla.org right away, but we can do so.

I decided to look up how to do this now, its a simple edit of https://wiki.mozilla.org/MediaWiki:Captcha-addurl-whitelist (requires special perms to edit)

I have just now had people verify that bugzilla.m.o adds (including via {{bug|}} works just fine now! I'm happy to add specific other mozilla properties to this whitelist if needed, just ping me on IRC.

For anyone else watching this bug, after discussions with Callek on #ateam, he's kindly added a few more subdomains, see:

FWIW, I had the same problem with blog.mozilla.org a week or two ago.  Fingers crossed that's changed now.
