Bug, undesired feature or feature request ?
I have no idea whether or how the doceditor can blacklist a function
(or class instance) so it cannot be edited or so it redirects to the
correct location.

The templating system is new for the distributions, so I'm also not
sure yet how it behaves everywhere.

I edited Poisson just to check
http://docs.scipy.org/scipy/docs/scipy.stats.poisson/

I could save the edit, but I have no idea where it would be stored.
And it's not supposed to be directly edited.
