actually, I do see two issues here:

First, anything that's in the wiki *will* be put into the database and 
can *not* be reliably deleted anymore. So, by this approach, I expect 
the usual number of bots to create the page, spamming our database.

The second issue is that we would need to code that ourselves, since I 
am not aware of an extension that provides this feature.

Sorry for being sceptical here, but I feel this is - at least for the 
wiki - a wrong appraoch...

FlaggedRevisions might be a good idea, but then, I still don't feel 
comfortable, because the "non-flagged" pages are still wasting space in 
our database and the user directory, so my preference is to filter 
already at user creation level.
