wiki spam filter doesn't appear to work
I am trying to edit using the AUR template (ie [[AUR|foo]]) but the wiki is challenging me to enter the some shell output as a spam countermeasure. I did, but it is not accepting it. Bug report against the wiki?

It always says Incorrect or missing CAPTCHA. But I am sure it's filled and correct.

Thank you very much.
After a few trial and errors, the following worked.

Re: wiki spam filter doesn't appear to work
Maybe the pacman wiki developer should add a pacman hook to remind him to update the CAPTCHA here.
