I have some slower wikis on shared hosting where a page load can take >5s. If I can go straight to the edit mode of a page without first loading it in page view mode, I can save time. This is especially relevant when editing many pages at a time, such as during a cleanup of [[Mediawiki Extension RottenLinks]].
However it is done, the trick is to do the initial page load with a postfix to the URL of <code>&action=edit</code> (for regular edits) or <code>&action=formedit</code> for edits using [[Mediawiki Extension PageForms]].

== Option 1 - Add a Gesturefy Gesture open the page with the edit link ==
One way to do this would be to use browser extensions like [https://github.com/Robbendebiene/Gesturefy Gesturefy] to apply a postfix <code>&action=edit</code> to the URL.

== Option 2 - Use a Greasemonkey script to add edit links ==
Another option is to use the following script in browser extension [https://www.greasespot.net/ Greasemonkey] to actually provide [e] edit links and [fe] form edit links (for [[Mediawiki Extension PageForms]].

There is a bug in this script in that it only adds the links to ~ every second internal link of the wiki. I have not been able to figure out how to make it add it to ''every'' link. If you know the trick, please [[Contact]] us.
