If you've ever set up a fresh MediaWiki and tried
to leave it open to
editing, you'll know about the problem of wiki spam. There's various well
documented tricks to tackle the problem on your own wiki (although it seems
to me that some of these are becoming less effective over time.
Particularly reCaptcha)
I thought the standard practice was to require admin approval of new
accounts and require new accounts to fill out a profile for their user
page.
Is your problem that you want to open your wiki to a broader base of
people that you don't want to personally vett the users, I'm not sure
how to deal with that.
