I guess I don't get the sense the current measures to encourage anons to sign up are working very well. The problem I see is that anons really have to guess at the advantages since there is no obvious way to find out what they are.

Some of them are documented here, but the list is incomplete and misleading ("Get badges and achievement points." only happens on those wikis where it is enabled and FANDOM is trying to get rid of this feature).

Some things that are true, but are probably hard to advertise:
 * Admins will treat you better.
 * Eligible for more rights like rollback, moderation, or even administration of wikis.
 * Have an Avatar.
 * Ability to have a custom signature.
 * Personal subpage space.

I'm sure there are even more.
