actually you dont have to login to edit wikipedia pages at all. they do track the ip address of those who make changes and can temporarily block that ip from editing, but that is pretty rare.
Mmhh...
Wikipedia have a minimal security scheme: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_edit_a_page
"Wikipedia is a WikiWiki, which means that anyone can easily edit any unprotected article and have those changes posted immediately to that page."
Even this complex page is left unprotected, and I was able to edit its html code. I'll check later if my changes are still there, and if my IP address is listed in: http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Vandalism_in_progress
This vandalism page is interesting; the page about Quebec was "updated" with some nice thoughts: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Quebec&oldid=6641378 In this case, the defacer is not some random chinese wiki spammer, but a fellow gentleman from Quebec. Go figure...
So the only security is post-publishing review.
