Having the last edited is useful and reflects the live nature of Wikipedia content. We should solve the i8n problem of text wrap, so we can retain it.

This change is technically trivial. Let me know once we've decided to do it and I'll submit a patch.

Quiddity added subscribers: Amire80, Nemo_bis.

@Quiddity any concerns/comments here?

I'm not familiar enough with I18n issues, to know what effects this would have in various languages. Perhaps @Amire80 or @Nemo_bis can advise if there are any potential problems to be considered?

I discussed with @pginer.
It is ok to go ahead and modify the source string.

@pginer mentioned that this is a pretty common pattern in translation.

Change 205540 had a related patch set uploaded (by Prtksxna):

Added them to the reviewers list too .

@Quiddity asked for my opinion, and my opinion is that it's OK, but please make sure that the qqq clarifies what does it refer to and where does it appear (as with every qqq string).

Change 205540 merged by jenkins-bot:
i18n: Change the "Last edited" message to be just "Edited"

Is there any chance to get 'Last' added back when there's enough space for it?

We believe its not required. The sentence works on its own.
