en.wikipedia.org and others have seen a rash of abuse coming via Tor in 
the form of account creations with abusive names and such; this is 
taking up a large chunk of CheckUser and oversighter time and effort, 
which is apparently not too fun.

It looks like the current settings don't generally restrict various 
actions to a logged-in user when accessing through Tor; is there any 
objection to tightening this up to restrict edits, account creations, 
etc via Tor except when the account is explicitly excepted?
