If Wikia had forced WoWWiki to allow anonymous edits, it probably would have never moved to Wikia. Just saying...

Also, I'm an admin at other wikis besides WoWWiki and I've never seen an obvious advantage to anonymous editing and many drawbacks. The users worth having will make an account.

That said, I never edit with my user account on Wikipedia, because when I did, many WIkipedia trolls (some who were admins) would harass me ALOT. So, although I think Wikia should give wiki admins the straightforward ability to restrict editing to logged in users, anonymous editing can be a springboard to dedicated contributors (but then again, how would you know?).
