Make it easier, or automatic, for people with a LW account to have a LW-wiki account.
Automatic would be best. It could help with the spam issue too - only allow wiki editing to users with positive karma.
I believe this would be enough to spur considerable editing by itself. I have tried to edit the wiki on several occasions, but my college was IP blocked and I decided that the additional effort needed to create an account anyway wasn't worth it for a trivial edit.
Yep. People have wanted this for ages (I think it's brought up at each mention of the wiki), though I udnerstand there are probably technical reasons for which it's complicated (the wiki and reddit codebases probably handle auth in pretty different ways).
Anyway, this would be a prerequisite to luke's proposal on karma - it would be much simpler AND useful.
Seconded. I actually DID get an account at one point, but it was a lot of work and I almost bailed, and I could easily imagine many others not getting as far.
