"edit" link below non-Q&A post results in 404 Not Found
I tried to edit a recipe I'd posted, by using the "edit" link below the post text. That gave me a 404 Not Found error.
Looking at the URL, I noticed that it says /answers/.../edit, which is wrong because that's not an answer. (It's not a question, either.)
When I manually changed the URL to /articles/.../edit instead, editing worked fine and I was able to save my changes.
This is almost certainly related to URLs in RSS feeds wrongly assume that all top-level posts are questions (which has been fixed). Given that this is already two very similar bugs, I wouldn't be surprised if there are some other hardcoded assumptions elsewhere along the lines of "top-level posts are always questions, and anything that's not a question is an answer".
