If you switch to forcing users to register in order to edit, then you get spam bots creating user accounts, which are harder to delete. So far, it does not take much work to delete the spam using the mediawiki admin tools ("delete", "protect", "watch", etc.) I am pretty sure that is how it is done on wikipedia.
