Open Wiki Edit Page Extension

Context menu to translate Mediawiki-style links (as at Wikipedia) into corresponding edit links. Also open ISBN links into Amazon.
A webextensions add-on to allow right-clicking on a Mediawiki-style link (as used at Wikipedia) to be able to go directly to its edit page (within the same window or a new tab).

By default looks for the pattern `/wiki/title` or `title=(title)` within links to change them into: `?action=edit&title=(title)` links. Only shows the context menu if those type URLs are found

You can set your own wildcards, and find-replace patterns if different wikis follow different URL patterns.

Also provides two \"Open ISBN at Amazon\" options (leading to the same window or current tab), usable when right-clicking on a link containing `Special:BookSources` (the format for links leading to ISBN numbers at Mediawiki sites).
