-'''Just this one last time... The captcha is broken! Each command template contains link to external source, in this case forums, so in order to create new page non admin users have to pass captcha, which is broken. So here is is, I would very much like to add this page about setDefaultCamera command, but I can't. I dunno what else to do, and seems no one gives a monkey about it despite the earlier reports. So yeah, whatever, I suddenly lost all will to share on wiki my current and future findings too. --KK'''
