<!-- version: 1.1 -->

![A screenshot][1]

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

Adjust includes as needed:

<!-- language: javascript -->

    // ==UserScript==
    // @name           Direct Question Edit Links
    // @namespace      stackoverflow
    // @include        *stackoverflow.com*
    // ==/UserScript==
    
    (function ()
    {
    	var cancelWaiting = false;
    	window.setTimeout(function () { cancelWaiting = true; }, 5000);
    	jq_wait();
    
    	function jq_wait()
    	{
    		if (typeof unsafeWindow.jQuery == 'undefined')
    		{
    			window.setTimeout(jq_wait, 100);
    		} else
    		{
    			$ = unsafeWindow.jQuery;
    			window.setTimeout(function () { cancelWaiting = true; }, 5000);
    			$(document).ready(waitForQuestions);
    		}
    	}
    
    	function waitForQuestions()
    	{
    		var jQuestions = $("div.question-summary");
    		if (jQuestions.length == 0)
    		{
    			if (!cancelWaiting) window.setTimeout(waitForQuestions, 100);
    		}
    		else
    		{
    			addLinks(jQuestions);
    		}
    	}
    
    	function addLinks(jQuestions)
    	{
    		jQuestions.each(function (i, e)
    		{
    			var jQuestion = $(e);
    			var jHeader = $("div.summary h3", e);
    			var id = $("a", jHeader)
    				.attr("href")
    				.match(/[0-9]+(?=\/)/)[0];
    			var link = $("<a/>");
    			link.attr("href", "/posts/" + id + "/edit");
    			link.html("Edit");
    			link.css("margin-left", "5px");
    			link.css("color", "grey");
    			link.css("font-size", "small");
    			link.css("visibility", "hidden");
    
    			jQuestion.mouseenter(function ()
    			{
    				link.css("visibility", "visible");
    			});
    			jQuestion.mouseleave(function ()
    			{
    				link.css("visibility", "hidden");
    			});
    
    			jHeader.append(link);
    		});
    	}
    })();

**Changes**:

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