 I get linked or redirected back to the Posts area in the admin menu after
 editing or deleting a custom taxonomy rather to the custom post type for
 which I registered the taxonomy.

 Steps:
 1. Plugin registers custom post type then custom taxonomy
 1. Visit custom taxonomy page via automatically generated link in admin
 menu: https://foo.example/wp-admin/edit-
 tags.php?taxonomy=CUSTOMTAX&post_type=CUSTOMPOST (custom post type section
 of admin menu is highlighted and open)
 1. Add a term (term is added to the table at right)
 1. Click term's name to open full edit page; delete link and form have no
 reference to the `post_type` that is in the URL of the current edit page.
 1. Editing/deleting the term works, but afterwards I'm back at the terms
 list page in the context of Posts, not my custom post type.

 I can maintain the context, when editing, with this code:

 {{{
 add_action(
     CUSTOMTAX . '_term_edit_form_top'
     , function() {
         ?><input type=hidden name=post_type value=<?= CUSTOMPOST ?>><?php
     }
 );
 }}}

 I tried correcting the delete URL, and it got the parameter but the final
 redirect was missing it, thus the Posts submenu was open again:

 {{{
 add_filter(
     'admin_url'
     , function($url) {
         return preg_replace(
             '#/edit-tags\\.php\\?action=delete&(?:amp;)?taxonomy='.
 CUSTOMTAX . '(?=&)#'
             , '$0&post_type=' . CUSTOMPOST
             , $url
         );
     }
 );
 }}}
