Sorry, I used the wrong wording. The one you said is the one I meant. It does NOT lock the page from any users with usernames (I was paraphrasing what the option actually said). I would like to prevent users that have not have the autoconfirmed write from editing high trafficed page. The "block new and anonymous users" option does NOT block new users. It does the exact same as the other option (which to paraphrase says to only block anonymous users without an account). I have experimented with this on several wikis, and it is consistant every time.

As I said in my original message, it is not a vandalism issue, it is a new user issue, so the AbuseFilter extension won't do anything.
