We appear to be thinking along the same lines, I just edited a similar question into my comment, I'll move it as a comment here instead.

For wikis with anon editing disabled due to this, will there be a helpful message explaining why anon editing is disabled and inviting them to sign up, or just the standard "You do not have permission to edit this page". I know each wiki can customise this locally, but many people don't know how, so it would be nice if it was done by default.

Incidentally, here are some related Mediawiki pages.
 * MediaWiki:Noarticletext-nopermission - when an page doesn't exist.
 * MediaWiki:badaccess-groups - This is the message which normally appears when anon editing is disabled.
