I understand now. For some reason the official documentation didn’t click with me, however reading this did:
http://django-suit.readthedocs.org/en/latest/sortables.html

To sum things up:

list_display – is for which fields will appear in the admin page

list_editable – is for which fields can be edited without officially opening them up in the “edit” page. you can basically just edit them right there on the spot in-line. pretty awesome.

list_display_links – at least one item from list_display must serve as the link to the edit page. this item can’t also be in list_editable otherwise it couldn’t serve as a link. (facepalm)

This is how I ended up modifying my files:

models.py

class Slider(models.Model):
    ...
    link = "Edit"
    ...

admin.py

class SliderAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    ...
    list_display = (
        'slider_title', 'slider_text', 'slider_order', 'link',)
    list_display_links = ('link',)
    list_editable = ('slider_title', 'slider_text', 'slider_order',)
    ...

You have to add:

list_display_links = None

You better create a dummy column in admin.py as shown below instead of creating a dummy field in models.py to make all columns editable in Django Admin:

class SliderAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    # ...
    list_display = (
        'slider_title', 'slider_text', 'slider_order', 'dummy',)
    list_display_links = ('dummy',)
    list_editable = ('slider_title', 'slider_text', 'slider_order',)

    @admin.display(description="") # Here
    def dummy(self, obj):
        return ""

You can see my post expaining more details about it.
