Based on what I've heard on other wikis, vandals can still edit on those (autoconfirmed) wiki after those 4 days, even though they have created numerous and numerous accounts with the same email (presumably without confirming it). Also Help:User rights doesn't mention anything about confirmed email, which I would expect in both cases (with or without confirming it), and I think that is exactly the case why FANDOM staff temporarily had the user group emailconfirmed users (which was discontinued after a week). (I really want to defend my argument apparently)
