No, just for uploading stuff. editing pages works without login, unless they're restricted.

Go here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedi and add
[[Image:Example.jpg]] to the page. Save and see the result. Then log in and click that red link to get to the upload page.

Ah, so to upload you need to log in which means you do need an account after all...?

I have added text easily enough without an account; maybe pictures are different.

Correct! yes

Creating an account however, is as easy as logging in. Just create a unique username and a password, and off you go.
