Summary

This is a UX bug. When showing the "history" of an issue that has been mentioned in other related objects (MRs, other issues) the text reads "UserFirst UserLast @username mentioned in Artifact artifactlink time ago." This ends up being confusing without some additional noun in that sentence. Was the username mentioned?

Steps to reproduce

Create an issue and mention it in other issues.

Example Project

All

What is the current bug behavior?

As described above.

What is the expected correct behavior?

Less confusing as to what was mentioned. My suggestion would be "UserFirst UserLast @username mentioned this CurrentArtifactType in ArtifactType artifactlink time ago." or even simply "UserFirst UserLast @username mentioned this in ArtifactType artifactlink time ago."
