Why are they manually typing in "?action=edit" ?
1. If they are used to doing that much, it's not too much to teach them
the rest. (More than is preferred, but it sounds like a group of users who
can learn.)
2. That page shows the edit link. PmWiki correctly links to
http://gnuzoo.org/test/AdvancedTableDirectives?action=edit
from the edit link, even if the last-entered/clicked URL had the #.
Although, with the length of that page I can see why they'd not want to
scroll up to it. Maybe break it into smaller pages?
