Like Fred, I think this goes against the spirit of a Wiki. Wikis thrive
on the contributions of anonymous people. We wouldn't be anywhere near
as successful as we are today if we didn't give anons the freedom they
have now.

Rather than *forbidding* or *allowing* things, why not use a more
gentle method of discouragement? Simply don't display red links to
anonymous editors. They can still create articles if they really want
to by going directly to the appropriate URL, and experienced
anonymous contributors would no doubt do just that.
I think this would also improve the reading experience for those who
have no intention of editing.
