I think this second "linked from X by Y" construction will be interpreted as "linked from page X, which is written by Y", so you might get a bit of confusion there - the sense that Y made the link is less clear.

Let's replace:

Rim Fire was linked from List of wildfires  

with:

MelanieN added a link to Rim Fire from List of wildfires

What about...

Rim Fire was linked from List of wildfires by MelanieN

?

Just an idea. Andrew has a good point that some other notifications start with a username, but the syntax I proposed above might be an exception to consider, because it reminds you why you care about who generated this link notif. "[Page you started] was linked from [other page] by [person]."

However, we implement, this is a Good Idea. :)
