wiki is being spammed with huge numbers of new pages

[Iain (OLPC) Davidson]

In the  community spirit of wikis and controlling spam., some thoughts come
to mind.

If the wiki spam gets so bad, that it it takes important time from
others.... How about the idea of turning on 'email confirmation required' on
new accounts, and/or account required to make edits ? (or at least, not
logged in users can only edit some Talk: and own user page??)
