This has previously been done via JavaScript, which was not a durable solution but appeared to be rather uncontroversial and effective enough. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LastModified https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Timestamp_position_modification https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Timestamp_position_modification We can probably first just move the "last modified" bit as is. The change is probably in contrast with the request to merge "last modified" and "print version" links (bug 3575), but is not with the merge to the permanent link (bug 64312). The main problem is that our skins deal with the footer in a less than clean way, I suppose... Making the timestamp less verbose and/or a way to "advertise" action=history (as the extension in question did) would be a separate bug.
Apparently this was just done for MobileFrontend's skin: http://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/05/02/the-wikipedia-editors-behind-the-curtain/
