I was planning on allowing account creation requests with
admin approval to open up to the next level of user participation, but
I would never open up my wiki to anonymous edits or account creation
without some form of review.


I think the concerns in this thread are mostly for those who have open wikis.  
Open wikis are sometimes needed for new wikis that are trying to build a user 
base by encouraging participation without having to go through the registration 
process.  Of course you aren't going to have much of a spam problem if you 
require admin approved registration.
