l admit, when I first noticed this today, I thought it a little odd. If people can type the username into that box they can just as easily type it into the address bar. Then again, if they arrived there via [[Special:Contributions/Target|a link]], they might not know this - newbies.

Now that this new form shown on the "User contributions" page has gone live, I would appreciate comments from a broader audience.

I'm fine with showing this form on Special:Contributions itself, but do we really need to show it when a user has been specified? It seems that a simple link to the form - "choose a different user" - should be sufficient. -- Peace & Love, Erik
