The protected page editor user group is a combination of the tboverride and editprotected user rights. This allows a user to edit fully protected pages of any type, with the exception of full cascading protection. It also allows the user to edit editnotices and create or modify content that is blocked by the title blacklist. Protected page editors cannot accept revisions of a PC protected page, nor are their revisions accepted automatically. They also cannot modify interface pages, pages in the MediaWiki namespace that make up the design and function of Wikipedia.
The purpose of this user right is to allow trusted users to contribute to pages that they would normally be disallowed from editing. Templates for example are most commonly fully protected when they become highly visible. Technically experienced editors can fix or update templates through that full protection for example.
To request the protected page editor right, ask at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Protected Page Editor. Any administrator may grant or revoke the right, using the user rights page. Users are to state what they intend to edit with that right and administrators will assess based on that statement. They will also assess past edit requests that are made to any page that is/was fully protected and will review what the results of that request were. Lastly, administrators will assess how long the user has been here, clue level, and trustworthiness demonstrated through the requestee's contributions.
Use of this user right can be allowed to the following, but not limited to:
Use of this user right in the manners listed below may cause removal of the right:
The following qualify the removal of the right.
As is the case with bureaucrats and administrators, users with this right can have the right removed under a cloud or without being under a cloud. If the user had this right removed under a cloud, they must wait at least 6 months before requesting it back. The reviewing administrator will then re-assess the request before re-granting. If the user had this right removed without being under a cloud, they can have it back without question unless it is clear that they intend to use it in controversial circumstances.
