Hi. Protecting pages from new and unregistered users would avoid most of the damage from spammers and vandals already. As for what you requested -- I indeed don't think it's possible for content space. As is said above, it only works for namespaces such as blog and thread. As Love Robin suggests right above this post, you can indeed also contact Wikia to put blog namespace to be searchable, as well as maybe ask if they can have the namespace count towards number of articles.

On my wiki I have a slightly different case where I want some pages to be only minimally edited by other users: we use a template for that, and it works as a warning at the top of the page, as you can see on this page. It adds "partial page ownership" to pages, which isn't a literal thing, but it is a bannable offense to edit these pages' content (formatting, etc. is fine, however). Might be an idea for your wiki as well!
