Description

Aim

This task tracks the various entry points that will enable users to navigate to Special:GlobalContributions.

User story

As a user needing to investigate cross-wiki abuse, I want to easily find the Special:GlobalContributions page, so that I can patrol effectively.

I would add it to Tools on User and User talk pages.

IMO, its not needed for RC, history, or watchlist.

+1 to this.

Thanks for the feedback. I've removed Recent changes, History and Watchlist from the proposed entry points in the task.

@Tchanders This task is ready for engineering to pick up. Is there anything else missing from your perspective before we move it out of Needs Refinement?

Have we considered whether this should be shown where other Special:Contributions tool links are? For example:

Special:Log when filtering for a specific performer

Special:Contributions for an account

Special:CentralAuth

Special:GlobalBlock

Special:ListFiles when filtering for a specific performer
image.png (498×1 px, 36 KB)

I would suggest including the link whenever we see a "relevant user" set, which is when there will be a Special:Contributions link for that user. That would not include RC / watchlist / history pages (except the history pages of user and user talk pages).

@Dreamy_Jazz Yes this idea makes sense to me. I wasn't sure where else the relevant user set displays so thank you for clarifying.

Tchanders moved this task from Triaged to Done on the CheckUser-GlobalContributions board.
