PmWiki has a built-in (:input:) directive you can use.

In config.php:
$EnablePostAuthorRequired = 1;

By far the easiest way is to use a shared password, a.k.a.
"password-based access control". That way if an author knows the
password, they're "registered". :-)
The Most Experienced PmWiki Administrator On Earth has written
persuasively that even for large wiki sites this is the easiest way to
go and it's much more effective and trouble-free that you might
imagine. It's at least worth trying first, then if it doesn't work
out you can switch to a more complex identity-based solution.
