User blog:Belle pullman/Mandatory Sign In?

The wiki offers the option to disable anonymous edits - we've been getting a lot of edits that aren't vandalism as such, but since the user isn't signed in, communication is impossible. Do we get enough useful "drive-by" edits from anonymous users to make it worth leaving the wiki editable anonymously? Or should we switch to signed in edits only?

the big advantages of signing in are accountability/building a profile, and communication. The big disadvantage is forgotten/lost details, that extra hassle that might prevent people contributing. But then that's also an advantage as that little bit of hassle means less casual vandalism? Not that it's much of a problem, but we could prevent the little we do get.

I'm inclined to turn the wiki to log-in edits only... unless anyone has arguments against?
