Captchas are a simple test to determine whether or not an edit is made by a bot -- an automated wiki editing program, often used by spammers and vandals. Users trying to make certain types of edits will be asked to check a confirmation box, before saving the page.

Wikia uses reCAPTURE to protect our communities from these undesirable edits. Captchas are currently presented when an unregistered or very new user adds an external link -- not a wikilink, but one which links to an external site

Can I prevent the display of captchas?
Registered users who have been with Wikia for four days or more should not see the captcha. If you do, please sign out and back in again.

Authorised bots can be exempted from captchas. Please ask the Community Team if you need your editing bot flagged in this way.
