Long term we want to get rid of the mobile version of the page, but Special:Contributions is going to need a huge rewrite for that to happen and I don't know how we make that happen right now (Community wishlist would be a good place to voice this - see related card for watchlist - T109277).

I think it's trivial to fix this. :-).

Let's be careful about making too many changes to the mobile contributions page. This code really should not exist anymore and I'd rather see a move towards the version inside consolidating this code with the one in Advanced Mobile contribution mode.

FYI, I might also be the only code reviewer who is reasonably comfortable with this code and I personally cannot invest any further time in code review for it right now so you'll probably want to identify a reviewer before spending time working on this and other related patches.

Ammarpad mentioned this in T265402: Diff links in mobile watchlist and recent changes go to page instead of diff.Oct 15 2020, 10:56 AM

I see. Some of these issues have been lingering for close to four years and more are being filed e.g T265402, T233845, so I thought it'd be good to fix them, I see that's not the case now and that's fine.

I didn't wrote anything actually, but from mental modelling I didn't think it's complicated either as the comment in T174194#3558876 suggested. But since the complete switch to the core versions is preferred, that's fine too.

It would be good to fix them as this is clearly not happening any time soon, I just don't have the capacity to do so. If you can find someone upfront willing to do code review then that's fine with me, I just don't want to feel obliged to code review when nobody else is for the good of my own mental health :).

Possibly something the anti harrassment team might care about.
