I am working on a wiki like site and is about to give permission to edit the node by everyone. Now this give rise serious problem of someone vandalising the site. I mean a single person can remove all the content. I am using Revision module so I can revert back to older versions but still wondering what else I can do ?

Is there any other way to make people edit any node and still keep things sane!

I'd suggest checking out the mollom module. I haven't yet used it myself, but from what I've read on Drupal Planet it apparently works very well for cutting down or eliminating spam content.

Alternatively, there are a few Captcha modules available too.

Thanks Matt for the reply, actually I am looking for more as avoiding chaos and maintaining content added by users rather than stoping spam.

You seem to be asking the impossible.

Give all users the ability to update content but a module to make sure they're not naughty.

As others have suggested and you're already implemented. Some sort of captcha to exclude bots, revisions so you can revert.

One option and I'm not sure what modules would be needed are to limit and break users into different groups. Before a user can update everything and anything his changes need to be approved or he is limited to what pages he can update etc.

Thanks Paul for the reply. You are right, May be I had not framed the question properly. but later part of your reply did answer it to some extent. I was looking for suggestions to minimize the damage.
