First-Line Indentation?

Hmmm…apparently, the template in question relied on a Lua script. I asked somebody over on Wikipedia about how much effort bringing a copy of the 'In5' template over here would take from that wiki's end here and here, and they said that Lua isn't available here. I assume that this could be fixed, but would somebody here be willing to do that? I'd appreciate this a lot, especially because typing '{{In5}}' is a lot faster than typing five copies of ' !'

Anti-Spam Acting Up Again…

Hey, I've noticed that, lately, this wiki's anti-spam tool is acting up again. It's supposed to have users authenticate using two-word (Re)CAPTCHAs, but recently it's been using less secure two-to-four–digit numbers or one word for the (Re)CAPTCHAs. Is this bad, or was this regression intentional?

This might be because we've shut off most of the authentication stuff after locking out new users while we search for a replacement for Asirra. ReCaptcha failed hard, as did MathCaptcha and a few others we had tested in the past. (We tried going back to ReCaptcha after Asirra was shut down and got a massive flood of bot-signups - on the order of 40 or 50 in a 4 hour period - so...) I'm still looking, but at this time it seems like our best bet might be trying to get something like Asirra running - that style, at least, since it requires a lot of computing power or a human...
