Event Timeline

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that it’s a “self-link”, i.e. points to User:Xaosflux in the page history of User:Xaosflux? It works fine in the page history of your talk page, while it’s similarly broken in this diff about a page protection (although interestingly enough, it works in the page history).
