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

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.
