	::: Ah, so that is what CreationWiki's system is called. Finnegan's suggestion could easily be incorporated instead of the biography and credentials: asking some basis Christorical facts that could be answered easily by anyone who read the 'New? Start here!' core articles would filter out the Croatian loan sharks. On this point, if we have a manual approval process like this, the reCaptcha for creating new articles would probably be redundant and could be removed. (It is rather annoying that, because I block Google's JavaScript [upon which reCaptcha depends] for privacy reasons, I am unable to create articles.) A CWCensus of active, dormant and malicious editors would indeed be interesting to see.

According to [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit this page], you can choose to use the QuestyCaptcha, which brings the verification thing in-house. --[[User:Little Owl\|Little Owl]] ([[User talk:Little Owl\|talk]]) 15:10, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

As for the content of the request form I feel like a "short answer" section requiring something like a 100 word minimum response could work to fight automatic requests by bots who might be reconfigured around the parameters. I don't know if any of this is possible but I feel the "drawbridge approach" limits the wiki's growth.
