User blog comment:BertH/Anonymous editing and your community/@comment-1874924-20150726182532

On our wiki (Total Drama Fanfiction), the ground rules are a little different because we're a creative wiki (i.e. a fanfiction archive) as opposed to the more common reference wiki. We're also a COPPA wiki, so the decision to disable anonymous editing was imposed on us. We saw two major effects from this change:


 * 1) Vandalism virtually disappeared, not that it was ever a major problem; and
 * 2) We lost a substantial number of anonymous contributors because they were too young to get accounts. Some of these were good contributors, others not so much.
