To give a slightly more specific line in the sand, you may not have a significant portion of your wiki's pages protected beyond requiring that users be autoconfirmed (an account that has been registered for 96 hours). This rule usually applies to just the main namespace but may also include other namespaces depending on which features your wiki uses. The MediaWiki namespace is auto-protected and does not count towards this requirement. Typically, the template and project namespaces don't count either.
