We should be able to edit the auto-scraped data on link posts
The scraper usually works pretty well but as seen here it can sometimes fail pretty spectacularly, in which case it would be beneficial if we could edit the data it collects.
I would add that sometimes an option to just refresh the metadata (accessible to the topic starter and to those with the rights to modify titles/tags) would be helpful.
An example is here, or any topic linking to a live commentary on an ongoing event (sports, elections, demonstrations, disasters, space launches, award presentations, etc.).
