This extension, mentioned here, sounds like it would help keep away the spammer bots fairly well. Vol (Talk)

Well, it seems ok, but does this extension also forces registered users? Personally, I don't have much of a problem with that, as I almost always preview before editing, but it can still be a bore. {Espyo^T} 13:33, 17 January 2011 (EST)

Espyo, as indicated on the extension page, you can exempt any group you choose from having to preview. I say don't have it for logged-in users, but it would be good for anonymous editors, yes. I'll just assume everyone agrees and tell Porple to install it... GP

Oh, if you wanted some sort of reason for not enabling it for registered users, look at the minor edits I just made to treasure pages - this is the sort of thing a normal user might feasibly want to do, and takes much longer if you're forced to preview every edit first. GP
