For a 'valid' id, are there any plans to have an 'image' that the user has to enter the word. Many systems are using this method for weeding out machine generated user requests.
Thanks

Is there any easy way to do any of this, like an extension or something already in the software?
* You can set up a throttle on editing using the built-in rate limiter (see $wgRateLimits; note that this requires memcached or APC user cache or somesuch)
* You can require that a user have a valid, confirmed email address prior to editing; see $wgEmailConfirmToEdit
* For the minimum username length limit, have a look at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Robchurch/Minimum_Username_Length
