Am I the only one who has to keep trying to guess the really bad captcha 50 times just to save a page?

Given that we are looking to enforce plugin authors creating wiki pages... is there any chance we can make it actually possible to create and edit a wiki page?

Myself I cannot logon and it must be related to the authentication/LDAP issue

You are not the only one. Possibly relevant:

I have had similar problem in the past while editing the Testopia Plug-in Wiki too. I was basically locked, and could not edit the page, it simply always failed, even though I tried to slowly type the captcha.

So I tried rolling-back the Wiki to a previous version, and after that suddenly I was able to edit and save it again with no problems.

Just my 0.02 cents

Excellent points! The wiki has been SO FRUSTRATING! 
I'm still unable to edit my Active Choices wiki page. Can't pass the captcha and I'm sure I'm entering it correctly! WHO can help us resolve this?
Thank you for any feedback!

Unrelated to the captcha. I disabled it and still can't get past the form. I'm trying to find out what's going on there.

This apparently was caused by the (WYSIWYG?) editor duplicating some page content such that there was a single 600k character line in the wiki text. This is how it started:

https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/pages/diffpages.action?originalId=75891705&pageId=78676521

Resolved by reverting to a version older than the border=1 duplication to get rid of all the crap…

https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/pages/diffpages.action?originalId=80642385&pageId=80642387

…and inserting the previously manually saved current page contents without the duplication.

https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/pages/diffpages.action?pageId=74875908&originalId=80642389

So everything should work again now.

Try not using the WYSIWYG editor, or at least ensure there are no accidental changes in there by diffing with the previous version after you save.

Oups, my bad. Thanks for fixing it Daniel!

Will use only the wiki markup editor instead of the wysiwyg from now on :)

Cheers

If somebody gets a chance to try the same fix on the other pages listed
on INFRA-300, that would be great :)
