I don’t think it’s possible for everyone. If you are permitted to edit topics (category, tag, and title) because you are a member of one of the groups in the `edit all topic groups` settings but not in a group allowed to edit posts written by other users (`edit all post groups`), the button below the post is not available. By default, users with TL3 are allowed to edit all topics but not all posts. However, I must admit that I have never felt the need to provide a reason for these edits. Usually those changes are self-explanatory, and the revision is all you need to understand.
