This one is a protective measure against spammers (which have been a big
problem in the past). I sure hope media wiki has some better mechanisms
than requiring every account to be manually authorised as an editor (I'm
sure it must do!). It's a big barrier to "drive by fixups" as well as
presenting an initial barrier which even longer term contributors have
to cross.

Ian.
