Why not require positive karma to create or edit wiki pages? There’s no relevant downside to it.
There may be people who love the wiki, but not LW. Requiring positive karma might make editing the wiki more trouble than it’s worth for them.
Just saying “hi” in the Welcome thread or posting basically any random sentence whatsoever in the Quotes thread should take care of that, one single karma would suffice.
To be fair, it is possible to actually be downvoted in the Quotes thread.
If you understand the Quotes thread dynamics well enough to achieve getting downvoted, you’re doing it on purpose :)
Beware trivial inconveniences!
Considering that the great majority of wiki edits are spam and spam deletion, some more inconvenience may be warranted.
