VisualEditor is not the editor linked from the diff page
Closed, ResolvedPublic8 Estimated Story Points

Description

At the top of a diff, it gives the date followed by actions: (edit) (undo) (thank)

It is not possible to use VisualEditor from this section. "(edit)" leads to the wikitext editor. Should the option be added (extra clutter, less surprising behavior)? Should the "(edit)" label be changed to "(edit source)"?
