When thinking about this idea, don't assume what

Bottom line, if it takes a few days to gain enough power to do serious
vandalism, engaging in serious vandalism would not be fun, but a stone
drag since all the rigamarole (which for a first time user could
possibly take the form of learning about the wiki) will have to be gone
through again. Faster then the first time, but still time consuming.
Aha, a mentoring approach! The wiki purists will have your head! :)
Actually, this isn't a bad idea. We just need to enable per-namespace
blocking. All users start out blocked from everything but Talk:, User:,
User_talk:, and Wikipedia:. IPs would be permanantly restricted to
(main):, Talk:, and User_talk:. It would also make enforcing arbcom
rulings like "this user is banned from editing in the Wikipedia
namespace for six months" trivial to enforce and impossible to break.
