"Nonces" or "Form Tokens" are processed on the server side in relation to a users session. They are not handled by Akismet (since there is no need to).<div><br></div><div>Server creates a nonce and places it in the form and the user session</div>

<br>
As an anti-spam measure, I was looking into putting hidden field form<br>
nonces into a Mediawiki extension for Akismet, but I could use some<br>
clarification. I thought that nonces were part of the Akismet API,<br>
but now it looks like the local Wordpress installations process them.<br>
So: does any related information touch your servers? If so, I can't<br>
find any documentation about API usage.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance -<br>
