I wish to ask: Was this poll ever taken?

I admin on numerous sites, two of which we have the setting fixed that requires logging in, and of those two I am the one who personally activated it.

I have to say that on those two sites, vandalism has, from my perspective, gone down considerably. It also relieves the necessity of having to 'lock' certain pages to only allow registered users. This prevented unwanted edit-warring and in one case brought it to near non-existence as it allowed me to focus on the individuals involved in such activities.

I am currently debating about enacting this policy on yet a third wiki, and decided that before doing so, I would check out other wikis, especially mature ones that are well organized and have decent participation. I prefer to examine those sites to which I am not an active member so that my perception is not skewed one way or the other.
