Users within the CAPTCHA exemptions global user group won't be prompted to enter CAPTCHAs by Extension:ConfirmEdit, for example when saving a page with new external links in it. This permission is only assigned to users that have demonstrated a need for it. Users may request access to captcha-exempt at Steward requests/Global permissions.
Accepted rationales for granting this right:
- Having to replace/remove/fix removals of images cross-wiki
- Being a sight-impaired person
- Because one is often asked to enter a CAPTCHA when editing other wikis
- If it is clear that the user has no spamming intention and is not a spambot
