Two connected suggestions:
- Login verification via SMS to a mobile phone.
As used by Google and recently announced by Twitter: https://blog.twitter.com/2013/getting-started-login-verification
Though I am not sure what the financial implications of this would be.
Sorry. But besides the financial implication most people who come to your wiki will NOT want to hand over their personal phone number to you. And many may not even have one. You will chase away a large percentage of the people you are trying to attract by having an open wiki.
- Social login - encouraging users to login with their Facebook,
Twitter, Gmail accounts which have already had some sort of Login Verification or are connected to a "social graph" that can be checked.
Spambots can get social accounts too. They also regularly get "friends" too.
