If you infer the edit URL for this page and enter it in the Location 
field does it work?

Usually the edit URL for PAGE_TITLE is something like
   http://yoursite.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=PAGE_TITLE&action=edit

I even made a Firefox Quicksearch to edit a page on ontoworld.org
   http://ontoworld.org/index.php?title=%s&action=edit
which I gave the keyword "sme".

The many MediaWiki actions (raw, delete, etc.) are documented at
