Late to this converation, but I have a few comments.


 * Many large wikis were built without allowing anonymous editing.
 * Wikipedia is a basis for comparison, but not always a good one, since it is super well known and covers almost every topic on the planet.
 * Maybe someone covered this, but currently communicating with anons is difficult because they don't get notifications if you leave message for an IP as far as I know.
 * A great feature would be to have anon IPs get an encouragement notification to create an account after some number of edits from that IP (50? 100? custom?).
 * Some wikis see tons of valuable contributions from anons, some not so much. Admins of wikis should be able to control anon editing in some way beyond just the burden of cleaning up, since even well meaning anons need clean up.
 * Anon editing is valuable for allowing user with accounts to continue to edit, even if they forgot to log in, but it would be nice if there was a way to "convert" anon edits to user edits.
