I'm generally against enforced passwords for wikis. It detracts from the community spirity of a wiki. I prefer that anyone can do a "drive by wiking" without having to remember yet another username/password combination.
I'm taken by your idea+offer of protection that you have worked out, if that (and all else fails, lets use passwords).
I am also against systems which involve a mashed up sequence of letters and numbers which need to be entered to change the wiki. These are often difficult to see for sighted people, let alone people with visual difficulties. Is it appropriate to make it more difficult for a poor sighted person to update the wiki than someone with 20/20 vision? I believe not.
ick, that sounds worse than usernames and passwords imho.
Thanks Adam
