Now that this new form shown on the "User contributions" page has gone live, I would appreciate comments from a broader audience. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Erik Moeller <erik(a)wikimedia.org> Date: Mar 14, 2007 1:01 PM Subject: New Special:Contributions form in SVN To: Wikimedia developers <wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> 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 DISCLAIMER: This message does not represent an official position of the Wikimedia Foundation or its Board of Trustees.

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.

Don't forget to advertise it on the admin noticeboards and on #wikipedia-en-admins on IRC.
