The wiki is content-poor enough that we ought to remove all trivial inconveniences in the way of producing content for it.

Since the reason Eliezer imposed or proposed the inconvenience is to improve article quality, do you maintain that the wiki is content-poor enough that we ought to not worry about the quality of contributions to the wiki?

I'd say yes, to some degree. Good content is more likely to come from someone editing poor content than be created from scratch.
