Why not have a cyclic secret that is placed in the main list's signature (the one that appears on every main list posting) Surely the only people who have a legitimate interest to modify the wiki are already list members.
Some people may want to update the wiki but aren't on the list?
We have had edits to our (HantsLUG) wiki from the USA and Sweden recently. The people who made those edits made valuable contributions to the site, but they're not on the mailing list.
The way I see it *any* barrier to maintaining a site is a barrier to maintaining the site!
The thing about wikis is anyone can edit at any time from anywhere. I often edit wikis (not just the HantsLUG one, but others too) when I am not logged in. It doesn't make my content any less valid or useful..
