Forum:Can you protect an entire Forum?

We are looking at setting up an all Admin forum on our wiki in order to talk about subjects in a group that have to do with site maintenance. I was wondering whether or not there was some form of cascading protection so that you do not have to go through and protect every single page as soon as it is posted? - Regards, Gaelen S.Talk • Contribs 05:44, May 20, 2010 (UTC)
