In visual/UI design, a stylistic convention whereby objects and content that belong and/or act together are visually grouped together.
Placing the edit button above the section header violates the principle of visual containment. It' s not visually obvious WHAT is being edited.

A four-story metal container designed to slow an oil well leak at the bottom of the ocean. The dome is lowered over the oil leak on the ocean floor with the purpose of capturing the oil so it can be pumped up to the surface.
"The first containment dome left the dock at Port Fourchon, Louisiana to head out to the well site. This system is designed to help capture the oil at the seabed and collect it securely for processing." - BP 5/6/2010

In the context of Reddit, (A online community involving a myriad of "subreddit" forums called "subs", each with their own distinct culture and moderation) a containment sub is a sub that is usually more lax in some area of moderation. This is to let a certain subsect of people (that are usually running counterpoint to Reddits main company, particularly in political issues) congregate there and not spread into other subs and "infect" them with their ideology. Certain topics (such as articles about the ponzi scheme Ellen Pao's (the CEO of Reddit) husband created, can cause you to be shadowbanned in many forums, yet in a containment sub they generally will stay viewable indefinitely.
One particularly notable example of these is /r/kotakuinaction, which deals with the Gamergate movement. (and in particular is anti-SJW, whereas Reddit as a company is more definitely pro)
