Hi,
If you are the owner of the Wiki, or if you are able to contact the wiki owner then there is already an option in the Wiki to prevent unauthenticated edits, as described by this section of the MediaWiki manual:

A small observation is that security through Javascript is a bad solution as this will likely break if Javascript is turned off. The indicated modification works (I have used it on my server) and is sure to work no matter what browser the user uses.
I don't understand the relevance? He's not saying he wants to disable anonymous login, he just has an account and doesn't personally want to edit while logged out.
Oops, looks like a misunderstood the issue in that case. One simple solution could be to ensure that his logged in skin is not the same as his standard skin. While this won't prevent him from editing while logged out, it should be a big enough visual clue.
