To put some more input on this, it's not really a good idea (imo). Think about it, everyone. The wiki's not faced with malicious editors, and if it is, then restricting anonymous users will be just feeding them. Soon enough, they'll just create (or use any existing) accounts to simply come on and do the same thing, and restricting regular users from editing is definitely out of the question no matter what wiki.

I've just realized that it's actually possible to request that certain rights be removed from certain user groups, but it's shown (see proof here here in the words of a VSTF member) that the Wikia Staff rarely ever removes the editing privilege from anons as it is simply unethical and that there actually very few cases in which removal of the privilege is entirely necessary.
