# open-wiki-edit-page

A webextensions add-on

([Firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-wiki-edit-page/)

or

[Chrome](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/open-wiki-edit-page/pmacjegjcgglcflfddfefdddlhompdpo?hl=en&authuser=0))

to allow right-clicking on a Mediawiki-style link (as used at

[Wikipedia](https://wikipedia.org)) to be able to

go directly to its edit page (within the same window or a new tab).

![screenshot of usage](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brettz9/open-wiki-edit-page/master/screenshots/Screen%20Shot%202018-03-27%20at%209.46.46%20PM.png)

Looks for the pattern `/wiki/title` or `title=(title)` within links

to change them into: `?action=edit&title=(title)` links.

Also provides two "Open ISBN at Amazon" options (leading

to the same window or current tab) when right-clicking on a link containing

`Special:BookSources` (the format for links leading to ISBN numbers

at Mediawiki sites).

The context menu options only appear when right-clicking qualifying links,

so it otherwise will not clutter the context menu, even for (non-wiki) links.

## To-dos

1. Allow option to specify a URL alternative to Amazon

1. Allow right-clicking on ISBN links which have the number in the text and

    are not limited to the wiki `Special:BookSources` form
