While it is *really* convenient to have the [edit] button and subsequent page available, I think it might be TOO easy for people to attempt to make changes. Just my opinion....
I DO think it is a great idea for the examples though. I don't make suggestions usually because there are so many errors in the database currently. With this feature, I can really make a lot of changes fast and feel like I am helping out.
