I still didn't install Gentoo in my PC (as my pc is dead and I gotta buy a newer one :( ) but rn I wanted to contribute to the Gentoo wiki Platform in my phone. Ik it's weird but I just wanted to help a bit expand the wiki before really using the system (I did this in the arch wiki) and then I found here the problem... As the Gentoo wiki is easy to access, it still asks at the very end of registry for the captcha solving. The thing is, the arch wiki does as well, but I've done to solve it is to copy the command they asked me about its output and paste it in Termux, with Pacman installed, I got the right answer :D .
Still, in Gentoo, I wanted to do the same thing, but it didn't work out, I didn't manage to install portage in termux, nor to modify the release file because of read-only restrictions.
I just wanted to contribute to Gentoo's development until I get a PC to install it, but I couldn't because of this, which is really disappointing.
I also found in reddit ppl complaining about this issue, does anyone have a realistic solution? [/topic]

Powerslaty,

Welcome to Gentoo.

The wiki catchpa should not require you to modify anything.
Just run a command and paste the response. It does require that the commands be run in Gentoo though.
