This experiment desperately needs documentation (both on mediawiki.org and Meta:Research).
Moushira, would you be able to help coordinate such documentation so that we are more clearly communicating with the community about these changes? (Even I can't keep up with what we are doing with the last modified bar in mobile and why.) You might need to talk with some of the designers about the rationale for the changes. Maryana may also be able to provide some insights.

I'm still not convinced this is a good idea and this village pump post [1] seems to show its now just me (although there is also one of the opposite mindset).
Please do consider this in the redesign which has now been promoted to beta.
"Before in the mobile edition of Wikipedia, it showed at the top the hours or days since last revision and the user name. Now the username is not there. Bring it back and even consider it for the full desktop version. That is how we encourage people to update this site and not think some editorial board does it."
