Spam is getting out of control and the only way to solve it, is to make everyone submitting and altering articles enter a code in to prove they are real and not some kind of computer bot.
In order to do this I have to upgrade the wiki, last time I tried this we nearly lost the wiki database, so I am taking precautions and backing up everything before I try.
