Well that is because you are not forced to register your real name and address before starting an account in the Wikis. Of course you can still use a pseudonym while working, but the org. would know who the users are. While diminish the will to mob, abuse, and vandalise tremendously when your true identity is known.
I personally have always noticed that it is much better to use ones real name. I notice that aggressive people are less willing to attack someone whose name they know. It is even better if you show your face. People are much less willing to attack someone who they feel they know. The persons who still attack are often mentally instable and easy to track and report to the police.

Well not using your real name if your handling arbitration is I think out of the question, anywhere in the world but the Wikis.

We have discovered that users who are thwarted in using aggressive behavior to control content will go after people who use their real name and played a role in curbing their behavior; call their employer, call their mother at home, it goes on. Using real names often does not work.
