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.
Sigh.. But as I said in my other email although this is a strong hypothesis
this is guess work and we need to stop making changes without data. We have
data that can tell us how many repeat users click the profile link vs the
history link. We can check bounce rates on both page (do people quickly
leave those pages after visiting). Why isn't our first reaction to test our
hypothesis?
Another hypothesis is that the last modified bar is too prominent and none
of the links are interesting in it to the majority of our users (which is I
guess the current design hypothesis) and they only click it by accident/out
of curiosity. We can find this out by checking bounce rates with and
without the bar.
"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.

Yeh that's
not a bad idea - Phabricator task?
You get two for the price of one!
