Hi
I have been thinking about this but it doesnt make much sense to me to
have ACL's over all wiki content in Fedora. Wiki has a large edit group
now that they might still make accidental changes which we need to
monitor. I am not sure spam is enough of a problem to warrant this. what
we can do is have a very limited acl for all the sensitive pages and a
free run on the rest to encourage more active participation. There are a
few people who monitor all changes to the wiki and I can do my share too.

No. 'free run' is not safe and trust me, our wiki WILL be defaced by
spammers and bullshit.
This project is not open to all comers - we require people apply and
get vetted for extras access, for doc-writing access, for everything.
This should be no different.
If getting EditGroup access is so much of a barrier to entry that
someone will not contribute to documenting things then I doubt seriously
they are going to contribute much of use, anyway.
