Problem: I want to attribute source of a template to dev wiki, wikipedia or other wiki. Trying to do so causes the captcha to appear. With my 2 bit internet connection it takes about 10 seconds to load and then about the same time to confirm.
Solution: Disable captcha for links to wikis. I doubt any malicious actor will want to link there, so it's pretty useless.

Mainly:

  • Miraheze dev wiki - when importing templates and such manually it's a pain since many link back to the dev wiki.
  • Wikipedia.

Would be nice to have:

  • Other Miraheze wikis.
  • wiki.gg wikis.
  • any other wiki I couldn't think of.

you can use interwiki links for that, see [[Interwiki]]. E.g. to link to dev you can do [[mh:dev:pagename]]

Use interwiki links as @dreamy sapphire says
