There's a special tool which some wikis have enabled (usually ones which are vandalized or spammed often) called Special:ProtectSite. With it, an administrator can disable all edits on that wiki temporarily by anonymous or non admin users when under a botnet attack or spam/vandalism raid. However like Randomtime said, it is not allowed to disable anonymous editing all the time on a wiki, and ProtectSite should only be used when it is very necessary to do so.
