"flow-hide-post-content" should link to some place where the hidden comment can be found
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

On normal (non-flow) pages, undoing a revision still allows anyone to see the removed content directly from the diff or the watchlist (in both cases there a link which allows this).

However, currently it is very difficult to figure out what to do to see which content was hidden by someone. The message

This comment was hidden by Who

should have some link (e.g. to Topic:...&action=history) to make this easier.

If you look at the history/contributions/watchlist/RecentChanges, it's already fairly analogous (you see "hid a comment", with comment linked).

However, you're right that the text shown on the board itself (there is only placeholder text for comments, not topics) is a little out of context.

We've already agreed to add a link to history here.
