EditTop is a script that adds an &#91; edit &#93; link above page heading, allowing you to edit the top section of the page.

Unlike other similar scripts that check the page you're on and then construct an [edit] link, this script simply looks for another [edit] link inside level 2 header below, then duplicates it. As a result:
 * good: link url, name and tooltip are always correct, whatever project or user interface language is;
 * good: script obeys "no-section-editing" (either in your preferences or  on the page);
 * bad: there's no link if the page doesn't have level 2 headers (but such pages are supposedly short enough anyway).

Script should work in all major browsers. |Source code is here.

Automatic  edit summary can be added with the following code in your monobook.js: Please do not use  as this creates misleading non-existent section link.

Summary
This works for secure.wikimedia.org, but it's a step down for me since it doesn't add a /* Intro */ or similar thing to the edit summary. Any chance of that being added? --Gwern (contribs) 21:32 19 June 2007 (GMT)


 * I added it as an extra option: see above. Good luck ∴ Alex Smotrov 22:51, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
