That may not work. I want the site readable by all and editable by registered users. So I guess I really can't moderate the registrations without losing other functionality I need.

New users can go into a group that has read, but not edit permission. You would then change their group membership to a group that can edit as part of the registration process. Adding some code to shoot off an email upon user creation shouldn't be too difficult.

My big worry is that, like with a forum, that spambots will register automatically and then totally screw up the wiki with spam. Is MediaWiki pretty immune to this, given that there's no way to moderate registrations? I just don't have the bandwidth to monitor the wiki 24/7. Thanks.

If you do what we suggested, with new accounts read-only and manual burecrat intervention required to write-authorize new accounts, then you should be pretty safe...
