> that's blatant user hostile elitism
A small amount of elitism is okay. For example, the Arch Wiki requires users to run a simple command before it allows them to create an account:
pacman -V|base32|head -1
That command more or less proves the user has successfully installed Arch Linux. People who can't provide that output probably shouldn't be editing the wiki. I realize it's nowhere near a perfect proof but it's probably fine for the wiki's purposes.
