I hope this works out well. It'll reduce the drive-by contributions (no matter how good you are at empowering people who ask, the very fact that they have to ask is a turn-off), but all that does is back down the main boast of a wiki - most web sites have a LOT more hoops to jump through before random readers can edit. If this does reduce spam significantly, it might be possible to eliminate textchas altogether; just put people straight into TrustedEditorsGroup, and depend on the spammers being uninterested in actually waiting for promotion (and probably being obvious anyway). As we've seen, the determined spammers aren't put off by them for long. Good luck!
