Hiding the five primary authors on "the history page" rather than prominently declaring them next to the title is not, in my opinion, de minimis.
Considering the difficulty in identifying the primary authors, I disagree. Who the primary authors of a Wikipedia page are is highly subjective.
For some articles it may be the case that you could argue "look, this person isn't a primary author and wouldn't show up on the title page anyway, therefore s/he has no standing to sue", and you might get away with it. Then again, if that author was one of the first five authors that bit of defense goes quickly out the window.
