Just found one (I had missed it when I sent my previous e-mail):
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ReCAPTCHA, nowadays merged into
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit (which is not
ConfirmAccount).
ConfirmEdit can be configured to only present captchas to
non-logged-in users, when they try to edit or create a page, or create
an account. Might that be useful?
Or we could go old-school copy protection style: "What is the fifth
word on page 120 of the TeXbook?" :-P
If we want to have a slightly higher barrier of entry: "Name one
undocumented command that you recently heard about on the mailing
list." ;-)
Cheers,
Sietse
