If the ChiefDelphi user database could somehow be incorporated into it, that would be great.
The principle that anyone can edit is highly held in the wiki community...

Usually, any vandals are negated swiftly because people notice and revert thanks to wiki's versioning system. Wiki accounts are built in, but they really only exist for attribution. Besides, even if we could interface to CD's username system (which would be nigh-impossible) what would it accomplish? CD doesn't really have a bouncer at the door
