Description

When I visit https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions, I get a bare, unformatted error page with a generic error message. Instead, a normal error page (with search bar, footer, etc.) with a clearer message should be shown.

We need to fix T122305 rather than invest more time in this workaround feature as it will never meet expectations of editors :(.
