Problem/Motivation

The localization string for the "Submitted by" node field (NodeSubmittedBy) is:

Submitted by <a href=":user_link">@user</a> on @date.

This leads to two problems.

First, a user without permissions to view user profiles may be presented with a link that leads to an access denied page.

Second, the user name is already rendered as a link when the current user has access to the user profile, which leads to invalid HTML output like the following:

Submitted by <a href="/users/someone"><a title="View user profile." href="/users/someone" about="/users/someone" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" class="username" lang="">Someone</a></a> on Wednesday, June 29, 2016 - 14:01.

Proposed resolution

Remove the link from the text passed to ::t().

Remaining tasks

User interface changes

API changes

Data model changes

Tweaking the existing test. Ideally we'd also test with a non-admin user lacking access to user profiles.

User profile link is rendered without a span.

Looks good to me.
Because showing, or not showing, the link is now handled by the user entity rendering I don't think it needs a separate test.

Patch #6 does not apply anymore, because the EntitiesTest does not exists anymore

Apparently the test moved to Drupal\Tests\ds\Functional\EntitiesTest updated the patch to change the test there.
