This is an available option, but in my experience it doesn't really stop vandalism for long. It's more of a short-term solution to an acute vandalism problem, especially because of the large percentage of recent new pages that have been kept that are by non-logged in users - I wouldn't recommend this as a good solution.

What kinds of vandalism problems are you having? As TK has said, AbuseFilter might fit your needs better, as you can set up tags for the kinds of edits that might be a problem, and even block certain edit patterns as it suits you.
