Bug: Edit variable prevents reuse

Enter description here

The Edit variable is used in view.tmpl to abstract away from the difference between editing a local wiki and a mirror site, I think. I am not sure whether this mechanism is really working as the preference variables MIRRORSITENAME, MIRRORVIEWURL are not discussed in the manual in the preference section.

However, it has the effect that one cannot simply write a new template that replaces the action on the edit button, as the Edit hides this. Well, one can replace the edit button in the view template, for example, but when going into an earlier revision, this edit button will not be struck out by the code in bin/view.

I think it would be better to explicitly define the edit button in view.tmpl.

Follow up

This came up in discussions about the fix for RefreshEditPage - I implemented a %EDITURL% variable in TWikiAlphaRelease for this reason, but ColasNahaboo had some ideas for improvements to this. This is important for skins that don't use the default Edit link.

I realise that my RefreshEditPage fixes probably won't work for sites using the mirror features, but since these are not documented anywhere, as you point out, I have a slight excuse
