Description Dan Jacobson 2013-04-17 23:55:04 UTC 
A usual line consists of

03:30, 15 April 2013 (diff | hist) . . (-9)‎ . . Template talk:GeoTemplate ‎ (→‎Yes you needn't produce misleading two point Google results anymore: well at least the q=loc: works still!) 

Here there is a tiny linked arrow.
Why not link the entire sentence along with the arrow?
Please do not require the user to aim his mouse precisely upon a single character wide link! I cannot think of any major website that would do that...
The whole sentence after it is completely wastefully unlinked.
This is not just a footnote where space is at a premium.

One also sees the tiny link arrow on

Please handle this case too!

I submitted a patch for this bug, but Anomie suggested that we can not include the autocomment (the sentence after the arrow) into the link without throwing away the ability to have links in the autocomment itself.
Comment 6 Dan Jacobson 2013-05-06 00:35:46 UTC 
Well all I can say is 99% of the time...
