 the wiki isn't supposed to allow anonymous edits is it? i just got a
 notification a page i edited got erased and changed to point to a  'chanel
 handbags' link (see link above)

 i went to fix it, and it let me edit without logging in.

 = bug analysis =

 = fix recommendation =

 the math problem must not be enough of a spam deterrent? should we really
 be allowing anonymous edits?
