In my experience, it's hard enough to get legitimate contributors to contribute that adding a barrier means only the most determined contributors will bother, which is bad.
Everyone can revert vandalism edits. The challenge with that crappy PBwiki (seriously, garbage...) is that they added "comments" which are NOT part of the wiki page that can be edited, which is where spammers can vandalize all they want and no one (?) can delete or otherwise revert it. Seriously, the best thing to do right now is to disable ALL comments if possible, delete them all off all the pages, and just use the wiki proper, the way they're "supposed" to work. Then, vandalism can simply be reverted, no big deal. Also: edits that introduce a URL should present a CAPTCHA. That would probably eliminate 99% of the spam vandalism. Perhaps its time to just put an end to the Coworking Wiki, if the people with administrative access don't have the bandwidth to maintain it any more.
