Direct Question Edit Links

Question

This script adds an edit link to the question summary, saving frequent editors the trouble of "entering" the question first.

Adjust includes as needed:

// ==UserScript==
// @name           Direct Question Edit Links
// @namespace      stackoverflow
// @include        *stackoverflow.com*
// ==/UserScript==

Changes:

• There were some issues with including jQuery directly, removed static reference.
