Creating an account is free and easy. It also has several other benefits than editing logged out.

List of advantages

Features

When a person logs in, they have access to their own preferences for the wiki. These preferences can tweak how a wiki appears to a user among other things. These include language settings, email changes, a custom signature or even changing the skin of the wiki for the user. In addition, aside from preferences, the contributions you make will be recorded in Special:Contributions and in Special:Editcount. Lastly, you can make your own userpage to tell the community more about yourself and a personal talk page, and will be notified with a banner each time someone adds a message. Being able to communicate easily makes it a lot easier to build a wiki.
