Not for whatever reason. The string says:
"Last edited 6 months ago by P64"
"P64" is marked as bold in a line of plain text. Clearly an invitation to click.
"Last edited 6 months ago" has no visual indication of being a link. The only way to find out is tapping on it, an action that a user not knowing about wiki page history might do more accidentally than on purpose. This string is underlined after visiting the page, but then it's too late.
The history monile page is ok already today. It would benefit from a summary at the top that could provide interesting information to newcomers and regular editors alike, i.e. Yeh that's not a bad idea - Phabricator task?
You get two for the price of one!
