I don't like self-links in the page content, since I expect a link in
the page will take me somewhere else, or do something specific, like
set a skin.

But I do like the page title being a self-link, and I use it all the
time as a convenient way to reload the page. The title does not
suggest to be a link to somewhere else, but to be a title. So I am
used to this extra functionality of being a big thing to click to
reload the page.

Anyway, just another way to look at it.
