The edit option box allows different levels of protection for textual additions to the page. By default, only the Edit option box is available. Most page protection (semi, template, or full) only requires this box but if you require move or pending pages protection, the 'Unlock further protect options' box can be checked to unlock them.
Articles under extended confirmed protection (ECP) can be edited only by extended-confirmed accounts – accounts that have been registered for at least 30 days and have made at least 500 edits, or have been manually granted extended-confirmed rights by an administrator (usually because the account is a legitimate alternative account of a user who has extended-confirmed rights on another account).
Cannot edit: Normal editing: Pages that have been persistently vandalized by anonymous and registered users. Some highly visible templates and modules.

The users who could assign this permission and under what circumstances can be discussed at a later RfC, probably bureaucrats either on their own authority or through a lightweight RFC, but possibly administrators through a ...
