Congrats on the modship! Okayu already contributes a ton to this community so they're an awesome choice.
I've been on a forum that has anon posting without incident for YEARS, so here's what works for them:
-Some degree of accountability. Members can be IP banned (or at the very least publicly laughed at) for sockpuppetry and spamming under anon.
-Certain sections locked for anon posters. I'm mostly thinking the request sections, because those would be really easy to exploit. A lot of people sign up solely to request anyways lol
-Incentives to signing up; being anon is temporary for most people. Stuff like viewing your posts and having an avatar is enough for most people, though.
As for anonymous wiki editing... I dunno. That seems like a can of worms.
that captcha's been on the wiki for ages lol
DeviantProtagonist:
As far as board restrictions go, the request sections are an absolute must. It'd be a feeding frenzy with little-to-no gain, otherwise.
More to the captchas, it's precisely the reason why this can understandably turn off users -- it's too much a drag even with Wiki links. I'd very much do without those secondary questions, if anything.

I don't understand why should request boards should be locked for guests. What is the point in registering if a person simply makes a request, thanks another person who fulfilled it, and forgets about the forum?

To prevent people from spamming the request boards with multiple requests. Keep in mind that the requests are handled by very few people with limited time and budgets and all these guests just spamming the requests thread would bring stress that isn't needed.
