If people think it would be better as a special page we'd make http://foo.example.com/w/index.php?title=Bar&action=edit a hard redirect to Special:Edit/Bar; that has the significant advantage of being able to be formed as an internal link.
I've always thought this was the best way to do things. Be careful about overusing short URLs, though -- the only reason robots don't spider /w/index.php?title=Foo&action=edit right now is because it starts with /w/ instead of /wiki/.
