Personally, I like tacking on ?action=edit and especially purge. Prefixing Special:Edit/ doesn't sound nice to me. I know I fixed the issues with things like Special:Movepage not sharing the same UI tabs as the rest of the actions.
I'm +1 with you on this. I don't have any convincing arguments against either way, but action links just look nicer to me.

I agree that there aren't really killer arguments in either direction. But I *would* say that consistency is a virtue we should strive towards. I want *either* Special:Move/Foo and Special:Edit/Foo, *or* Foo&action=edit and Foo&action=move. There really is no justification for that discrepancy apart from "it's always been that way"... and that's what B/C is for.
