I have a question, and I'm hoping you can help.

One of the page protection options is "Block new and unregistered users". I understand that an unregistered user is someone without an account, but what counts as a "new" user? (Is it based on days active? Edit count? Something else?)

(From personal experience, it seems like 90% of vandalism comes from accounts that are only a few days old, so I was thinking about semi-protecting some of this wiki's most popular pages. I just want to know the extent of this protection.)
