Yes, by default, Wikia wikis use page-based protection. The only wiki-wide protection I know of is the option to disallow anonymous editors. As Annabeth and Percy already pointed out. The issue is not the tag itself. Rather, that tag is indicating that the user hasn't met a certain minimum which happens to also mean that they have not yet been autoconfirmed.
