You don't even need to change the URL. It should be enough to detect when the edit form is invoked with an non-existing page.
...and then what? Bear in mind that the software can't currently tell the difference between clicking a red link, vistiting a non-existant page and clicking 'edit' and typing an "?action=edit" URL into the address bar. Making the distinction between the first type of 'edit' and the second two means that we could (optionally) have a different response for clicking a red link and clicking an edit link, which is what I think Tim was suggesting.
