An ellipsis at the end of an action label usually indicates that further input 
is required rather than that an action is taken immediately. While it could 
mean that in this case, this would be the only link in Jenkins that I know of 
that uses an the ellipsis as part of the label. Users aware of this very common 
convention would just be confused by this inconsistency.

"When it appears in the name of a button or a menu item, an ellipsis character 
(...) indicates to the user that additional information is required before the 
associated operation can be performed. Specifically, it prepares the user to 
expect the appearance of a window or dialog in which to make selections or 
enter information before the command executes."

"While menu commands are used for immediate actions, more information might be 
needed to perform the action. Indicate a command that needs additional 
information (including a confirmation) by adding an ellipsis at the end of the 
label."

"Menu commands that require parameters to proceed are suffixed with an ellipsis 
("...");"
