Extension:EnhancedAutopromote

The EnhancedAutopromote extension provides some additional autopromotion criteria possibilities.

Rationale
$wgAutoConfirmAge, $wgAutoConfirmCount and so on may not provide all the functionality you might want for screening users before they become autoconfirmed. For example, suppose you autoconfirm all users who have made 6 edits and been around 24 hours since their first edit. A user could make 1 good edit, wait 24 hours, and then make another 5 junk edits in rapid succession to become autoconfirmed. This extension allows you to put up additional barriers by, for instance, requiring that a user wait 24 hours after passing his 6th CAPTCHA before becoming autoconfirmed.

Hack
To get this to work, you need to hack the appropriate Extension:ConfirmEdit file to add the necessary  hook to the   function.
