Well the ones who legitimately contribute could always create accounts. It's not really that hard. What most hate about creating accounts is creating an email, some are too lazy to do it

But also, restricting IP contributions may lower the vandalism spree on most wikis. About 75% of vandal edits come from IPs and not actual user accounts

It'd be best if they'd just go. I've been having to deal with bad IP edits on most of my wikis for months now. And one of the worst parts is you can't ban them for "infinite" since you may end up banning a good user. Disruptive "user" accounts on the other hand, you can just go for the infinite block
