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.
yes, it would be nice that one the admins protects at least the main page of the mediawiki as Jérôme Abel did on the French version. Works fine and it's just two clicks away.
I don't think we have gotten spam on the main page, so it doesn't
need to be protected (yet?). As far as I know, wikipedia uses the
'protect' feature as a temporary measure.

Terrorism is not an enemy. It cannot be defeated. It's a tactic.
It's about as sensible to say we declare war on night attacks and
expect we're going to win that war. We're not going to win the war
on terrorism. - retired U.S. Army general, William Odom
