Thanks for your concern.  I did not examine the data in the early days but recent contributions mostly came from explicitly logged in user accounts.  However, what you say is valid and I may remove the restriction for a while to see how it goes.  Recently the spam on the wiki has been somewhat annoying.

Do you have some stats about the kind of contributions we get on the
wiki (authenticated, not-authenticated)?
If non-authenticated changes represent a decent part of the
contributions, then we should consider accepting anonymous changes
again and remove spam after the fact.
I would rather get spam and more contributions instead of neither of
them.
If however anonymous contributions represent a negligeable part of the
changes, there's no problem in requiring authentication.
As far as I'm concerned, I remember not contributing to wikis when a
15s change became 5 tedious minutes to create the account and store
the credentials somewhere :/
