Many generations of users in many (but not all) languages have been
confused for years by the "(top)" in [[Special:Contributions]]. This is
the message [[MediaWiki:Uctop]], which several languages, for clarity,
translate as "current", and now also en.wiki thanks to a German-speaking
sysop probably imitating German translation.
Other languages translate "top" as "last revision for the page" or
variations/shortenings thereof, but that's either too long (if full) or
too confusing (if shortened).
Unless there are objections, I expect "current" will be approved as new
English default soon. See
