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.
