This tutorial would make some vandals abandon their now-less-funny aims while it would help good-faith users. At this point I don't think the community can deal with anonymous edits on highly interlinked entities any longer. @Lydia_Pintscher, I'd love to read your thoughts on this and know if you see this as a solution or would like different measures to be applied. We might also want to expose the problem on the project chat and/or via RfC soon.
Obviously the current situation can't go on so we need to come up with smart ways to improve the situation like the one proposed here. I think only when we've explored enough other options should we resort to closing off the project more. So I don't oppose it completely but it'd pain me to do it without trying a lot of other things first. More ideas welcome for what those things could/should be.
