The problem is, I suspect most sites don't have profile pages setup.
They may exist, but unless there is a strong user community, those
pages are blank. So a link won't mean much. But the action pages could
be easily customized to convert {member} to [[~{member}]]. You just
have to find them all.

This is a good idea, but to my knowledge there is no core
functionality to view a stamp page content. The diff function can read
and generate a comparison, but we'd have to have a special plugin or
add some new functionality somewhere to view the actual page. It could
be done of course, but I haven't been convinced it needs to be in the
core. A plugin seems more logical.
