[Mediawiki-l] changing layout navigationbar - making editlinks/sections manually

[Rein]

My wiki is a wordlist.
That means that each letter (A, B, C etc.) should be a third degree heading.
That way you can link to the letter you want AND edit a word in that part of the list with the "edit" button at the right.
Beautiful.
Only: in the navigation-bar it would look like:
  navigation  
    Wordlist "this list"
        A
        B
        C
etc.
Much too long and unhandy:

It should look like:
  navigation  
    Wordlist "this list"
        A B C D etc.

Is that to be done?

Alternative is to make your own anchors and links (not inside the navigation- bar).
But than there would be no edit link, and no edit section only for one letter-section.
Can that be arranged manually?
