Yes - the first item is "Requiring log in and/or a CAPTCHA on certain
operations, such as edits, adding external links, or new user creation."

There are a number of captcha extensions:

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit

is bundled with v1.18 and above which it looks like v.1.24 is what this
wiki is on judging by this meta tag:
<meta name="generator" content="MediaWiki 1.25wmf4" />

So it may just be a matter of specifying what type of captcha is required
for edit operations.

I will install a local copy and have a closer look at this.  But, it seems
like a relatively easy and logical first step.  We can always ratchet
things up from there if it doesn't work.
