Description Jon 2013-09-23 17:53:29 UTC 
When a user follows an edit link containing action=edit and has JavaScript enabled the editor is loaded.

When they do not have JavaScript enabled they get confusing behaviour in that the page is simply refreshed.

It would be useful to have an intermediate screen that
* redirects the user to the editor when the editor is supported and they have JavaScript enabled
* shows a noscript tag when they do not have JavaScript enabled telling them they cannot edit with a link back to the page.
* When they have JavaScript enabled but do not support the editor it tells them their browser does not support editing with a link back to the page.

Comment 2 Jon 2013-11-26 20:27:46 UTC 
To be clear if a wiki page links to a page with action=edit in the query string and the label says "edit this page" in the mobile view the behaviour might be considered confusing.
