Well, thanks. I hope it is fixed eventually, because typically, if one want to follow the contributions of a vandal or only a problematic user, one can't be sure he reached all this person contributions if they are mixed.

As for my lost contributions, I found them. Contributions are not sorted by date. So, I had to go back in time to find the recent ones. Odd.
Not only contributions, the same bug seems to influence the article history. Take a look here: http://de.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Vorlage:Hauptseite_Wikipedia_aktu...
Something is or was sometimes not updating inverse_timestamp, which is used to do the date sorting in history and contribs (because MySQL 3.x couldn't optimize a descending sort on an index). I've fixed that particular page, but the bug needs to be fixed if it's still there.
