I don't think there's an easy way to link to action URIs?

{{fullurl:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|action=history}}

@Izno I don't think that works on the client side?

On the client side? Not sure what "client" means in context. That is valid wikitext and will generate a protocol relative URL to the current page's history page.

You can probably look up the equivalent PHP trivially.

Client side as in JavaScript

I've tried this out and it doesn't seem to work in JS as there's no magic word support there for fullurl or FULLPAGENAME:

mw.messages.set('foo', '{{fullurl:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|action=history}}')
mw.message('foo').parse()

Ah yeah, ok. And I went and looked at the other task.

Seems kind of weird that MobileFrontend wasn't using the MediaWiki message system in the first place. That seems like the proper fix here to me... :)

The message has to be done in javascript as it uses relative timestamps e.g. 3 hour ago so is not cacheable. For history i think we will thus have to make do with an absolute uri.

Should we change it to use full url? mw.Title does not provide equivalent of Title::getFullUrl() method but it'd be trivial to implement in MobileFrontend or add support for, in the core method if need be.

We could pass the history link as a full uri yes. It would however been that users on mobile domain would be pointed to the desktop domain (and unnecessary redirect) due to T156847.

You can pass a jQuery object containing an <a> element for the link target.

mw.messages.set( 'foo', 'hello [$1 world]' );
mw.message( 'foo', $( '<a>' ).attr( 'href', '/wiki/...' ) ).parseDom();
