::Thanks, the captcha wouldn’t appear  [[User:Seawolf35|Seawolf35]] ([[User talk:Seawolf35|talk]]) 21:51, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
:::It is strange because I do a lot of account creating on EnWiki for people who can’t do it themselves and I never had that issue.  [[User:Seawolf35|Seawolf35]] ([[User talk:Seawolf35|talk]]) 21:52, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
::::I have also already reported the problem via IRC to @[[User:MacFan4000|MacFan4000]], he is our System Administrator and he can hopefully fix it? [[User:Drummingman|Drummingman]] ([[User talk:Drummingman|talk]]) 21:56, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
:::::I made a phab ticket. Seems to be the quickest way. [[User:X|'''<span style="background:#3383ff;color:white;padding:5px;box-shadow:0 1px 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.2)">X</span>''']] ([[User talk:X|talk]] + [[Special:Contributions/X|contribs]]) 21:58, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

:::::::@[[User:X|X]] Is it okay if I work through https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:AntiCompositeBot/ASNBlock this list blocking open proxies due to the testwiki policy on No Open Proxies?  [[User:Seawolf35|Seawolf35]] ([[User talk:Seawolf35|talk]]) 22:44, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
::::::::Yes, of course. Just make sure you're sure you are only blocking proxies! [[User:X|'''<span style="background:#3383ff;color:white;padding:5px;box-shadow:0 1px 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.2)">X</span>''']] ([[User talk:X|talk]] + [[Special:Contributions/X|contribs]]) 22:46, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
:::::::::Thanks, I do quite complete checks before blocking.  [[User:Seawolf35|Seawolf35]] ([[User talk:Seawolf35|talk]]) 22:47, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
::::::::::Great! I think there are some editing tools and revision deletion tools that come in the bureaucrat toolkit. Would you like this rights?
