How do I allow only logged-in users to edit?

See Setting user rights in MediaWiki for questions relating to user
rights. In this case, you want to set
$wgWhitelistEdit = true;
in LocalSettings.php.

This makes it only possible to edit pages if you have an account
setup, i.e. no IP address only changes. That would limit somewhat any
spammers, as they need to create an account. Someone could still write
a program that automatically generates accounts for a system, but this
recipe at least stops most of the attacks.
