Personally, I wouldn't consider that a middle ground. The anonymous are what makes wiki into what they are. 98% of a wiki's editors are typically the anonymous, and over 80% contribute more than any registered user will. Blocking them at all for convenience reasons is pretty detrimental to a wiki's overall growth.
