In our category "things that would be nice to have, even though they are not
really needed":

On Wiki websites (such as http://en.wikipedia.org), it would be nice to have an
"edit this page" button on the Mozilla Firefox toolbar, which would do the same
thing as the Wiki's own "Edit this page" link.


Reproducible: Always

Why would this only need to work on Wiki-pages ?

For a general-purpose edit-button, see bug 172817.

Comment 2

[Joona Palaste]

Two questions:
1) Would that send the modified code to the *server*, or only edit the local copy?
2) Wiki sites (at least those running WikiMedia) have a special Wiki markup that
gets translated to HTML on rendering. I would want to edit the original Wiki
markup, not the resulting HTML.

That would be something for an extension (if you want a special wiki solution).

It's already an extension:
