It does need to be recognised that this will dramatically reduce the number of pople who will pass that hurdle to edit the wiki, and thus the wiki loses a lot of edits (both helpful and unhelpful) it might otherwise have.
At least the edits being made now are by folks who care. Better fewer edits than a site full of little but spam.
Thanks to those doing the work to maintain Python community infrastructure.
Seconded. -- ~Ethan~
