Perhaps this could be combined with a coarse edit analyser of some sort. For example, if there is a large reduction in the article length, then the user gets nagged for an edit summary. If the page is blanked, then the user could be given a warning such as: "I see you're blanking the page. Would you like some advice on that?".
I think we did that when we were haveing problems with the google toolbar.
AFAIK we still do. There's the "Warning: you're editing a page over 35KB" stuff, as well as a template which instructs people how to fix the problem (upgrade the Google toolbar). Can't remember the name of it but it does exist.
