[mediawiki/core@master] Link temporary account names to user:contribs

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/887069

@Niharika It was pointed out in code review that there is often a contribs link shown after an unregisted account user link, e.g. on the history pages:

What should we do?

Here's the gerrit comment from @Umherirrender, on https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/core/+/887069/ :

There is already a "contribs" behind the user name, at least on action=history, which makes this looks duplicated. If this get changed, maybe T319081 is related

@RHo flagging for attention. should we remove the contribs links in favor of linking through the username?

I tend to agree with T319081 in making it consistent for all editors to show talk & contribs, so would decline this task in favour of doing that one.

I agree. Let's push this change through as is. We can follow-up with T319081.

@Cyndymediawiksim Before I proceed to more testing, I've tested a couple from Admin and the TempUser (* Unregistered 29) account itself and it doesn't look like it's redirecting to the Special:Contribution page but creating the User as seen in the Result column. This was tested on History and Recent changes.

@GMikesell-WMF I just had a look, and it seems as though the patch didn't merge.

@Cyndymediawiksim While I was looking, I spotted something so left a review. I'll move this task back into code review.

@Cyndymediawiksim @AGueyte I updated core and Checkuser for my Local but it does not look like it's linked to Special:Contribution since when I click on the temp user (*Unregister 31), I am getting a Creating User.

Interesting, thanks for this!
Is this the only place it doesn't create a contribution URL? Or is it this behavior on all pages?

I've tested on Special:Log, Special:RecentChanges, Revision History, with the latest pull and even logged out I have the contribution links.

Thank you,

@AGueyte That is interesting. Yes, it's for all pages meaning that it must be something with my Local config or rights? Do you have anything different?

Admin rights: Stewards, Administrators, Autoconfirmed users, Bureaucrats, Check users, Interface administrators, Registered users, Suppressors, Users, checkuser-temporary-account

@AGueyte Ok looks like we are good to go now! They all now link to Special:Contribution. I will move this to Done. Thanks again!
