The idea of requiring users to be registered to edit sounds good to me. It will be a lot easier to keep track of a user's edits and to communicate with that user, as IPs rarely check their message walls. However, there's one thing I'm concerned about. As far as I know, Wikia has two protection levels: autoconfirmed and sysop. Making the wiki autoconfirmed only will also require newly registered users to edit other wikis before starting to edit here, which might cause us to lose many potentially good users. So I support requiring users to register, but not forcing them to edit other wikis before they can start contributing to South Park Archives. If there's an option other than 'autoconfirmed only', that's perfect, but if not, I'd rather deal with unproductive edits than lose potentially good users.
