katrin: You would be fine as you have a user account, this would merely stop random "wikia contributor"'s from making edits :P

I got an email back from the support guys and this is what they said we need to do:

Hello,

Thanks for contacting Wikia. It is possible to restrict anonymous editing, but we generally recommend against it. It’s a lot harder to build a community that blocks anonymous contributors, since a lot of first time visitors will want to try out the site before logging in and creating an account. Forcing people to log in first can put people off and slow the growth of your wiki.

It is true that more problem edits can come from anonymous editors, but accounts are also easy to make and it’s likely that vandals and spammers will just switch tactics rather than go away. If you need help with spam and vandalism, you’re welcome to contact our Volunteer Spam Task Force (VSTF) at http://vstf.wikia.com. They’re able to give you assistance in cleaning up spam and setting up roadblocks for future vandals.

Above all, the main reason we recommend keeping a wiki open to editing for everyone is that it's just friendlier that way. Open editing is an ideal, one that wikis were built on. We think it's good to keep wikis that way. Of course, there may be special circumstances on particular wikis, and we are always willing to listen to any specific considerations you might have.

Feel free to take some time to think this over. If you do want to restrict anon-editing, please hold a community discussion on the wiki (not on chat) so the rest of the wiki can give their opinion on this as well. Once that’s done, let me know how your wiki wants to move forward. Thanks!

So they don't recommend we do it, but if we have a community discussion (presumably they mean the entire wiki, not just GDT wiki) and then they will action it depending on the result of that.
