I designed the template to link to the original article for a reason. I don't want the 4.2 million viewers we get per week stuck in the wiki's "internals", which are the files and templates, etc. I had it linked to the original article because it prevents users and IPs from having to see that, and just makes the process more streamlined. Also, it is nowhere near difficult to find the file history. Again, none of the 4.2 million viewers care about the file history. If you haven't noticed, the file name is also the pagename, meaning you can just type it in the URL.
