In MediaWiki, the "→" link to a page section on a History page should be larger to click

This task is about MediaWiki itself.

On the &action=history page, when you edit a section, the link to a section is as small as character. But such a small link is not convenient at all. On mobile it could be ok, but on large resolution PC screens that one character could be really small and unnoticeable. We want to link the entire section name instead of just the arrow.

The code that you'll need to modify is in Linker::formatAutocomments(). There are also test cases that you will have to update in LinkerTest.php.

You are expected to provide a patch in Wikimedia Gerrit. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Tutorial for how to set up Git and Gerrit.
