Ah. I just checked Wiki Features, and it says this about stopping anons from editing:

"Do you want all contributors on your wikia to be logged in? When this feature is enabled, no anonymous visitors will be allowed to edit pages or participate in comments, Forum or Message Wall without logging in."

Not only would they not be allowed to edit the pages, they wouldn't even get to post in the comments or the forum. We get a lot of anons joining discussions in the comments and forums.

Still can't remember for certain whether or not new users have to wait a little before they can make edits to pages. I know that, when we lock a page against anons, it also locks the page against new users.
