But it is more flexible than defining separate Edit:, Diff:, Print:,
Publish:, Search: markups for every action we may have or come up with
in the future. Also, using an 'Edit:' syntax effectively
takes these names out of the available InterMap space, which may
invite a fair amount of confusion.
OTOH, there's nothing to prevent someone from defining these entries
in localmap.txt:
Edit http://yourserver.com/path/to/wiki?pagename=$1&action=edit
History http://yourserver.com/path/to/wiki?pagename=$1&action=diff
etc.
The ThisPage:, ThisGroup:, and ThisWiki: intermap entries were
created expressly for the purpose of eliminating the [[$Edit:...]],
[[$Diff:...]] and other markups that were also a bit confusing and
difficult to work with.
