[WikiEN-l] Fwd: New Special:Contributions form in SVN

[Gary Kirk]

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.
