Create a graphic that is only human-readable, containing some scrambled text, and require the text to be entered. Surely that's not easy for spambots to crack?

Can you share the link to the community of practise site? It'd be good to hear your experiences of learning how to upgrade mediawiki too. I'm using two different versions, and the newer one has quite a lot of good new features which make editing the template a lot simpler. Frankie Well done for defeating the bot.
