Yes, it is.  Look at the html.  It will look like
<a aria-label="edit jdashiel features" 
href="/shell/13605/13605/edit">jdashiel</a>

I have confirmed multiple times that the link exists in lynx, and
that the link text is your username.  I suggest you take a long hard
look at your screenreader if it is not giving you that text.
