[ubuntu-za] Wiki Spam - turn off anonymous edits?

We've been having a lot of wiki spam on www.ubuntu-za.org. Craig has
opened a ticket a while ago for the Canonical sysadmins to advise us
on dealing with this, and I think there may be moin plugins that can
help - but until we have something more reliable (and less manual than
Craig's several edits a day to remove spam) the quickest action would
be to stop anonymous edits.

That would require everyone to create a profile and log in on the wiki
before being able to edit. I think most people who do edit the wiki do
log in, unless they forget (as has happened to me on occasion).

Comments? Anyone against this?

Regards
Morgan
