Amir, I'm glad there's a link, but from a usability standpoint this is a pretty
terrible implementation. In order to follow that link you have to a) notice it
in a place that's already fairly cluttered, b) make the mental connection
between "interlanguage links" and the links that _aren't even visible_ while
editing the page. Moreover, the passive "Pages with interlanguage links" does
not suggest any action that can be taken, and indeed, takes me to a "view" page
which then separately has to be edited.

I would strongly suggest putting an "edit" link at the bottom of the language
links instead when the page is rendered. Yes, there may be edge cases where
multiple such links need to be rendered, but let's not design for edge cases.
Yes, the user may not have rights to edit, but again, let's not design for edge
cases -- it's more efficient to send them to &action=edit, even if that's a
"view source" page in a few rare circumstances.
