QA is completed, I have verified the new code has been implemented and is functioning as expected (Global Contributions link is displaying on the results page for Special:Contributions, Special:DeletedContributions, and Special:IPContributions).

Apologies if I’m missing anything, but I just wanted to check if this was working as intended — at present, the link appears for me at (e.g.) https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/special:contributions/a_smart_kitten, but clicking it takes me to a "No such special page" message.

Thanks @A_smart_kitten - looks like this isn't redirecting to the central wiki, which is where Special:GlobalContributions is enabled. Reopening the task.

Tchanders mentioned this in T385086: GlobalContributions: Ensure that the link from the sidebar and other contributions pages always leads to the central wiki .Jan 29 2025, 6:29 PM

Just checked into this, and the problem is that Special:GlobalContributions doesn't exist on a wiki where temp accounts is not enabled/known, which is the case for mediawiki.org. The nonexistent page error is encountered before there is a chance to redirect to a central wiki.

I've filed a separate task for this, and am closing this task again: T385086: GlobalContributions: Ensure that the link from the sidebar and other contributions pages always leads to the central wiki
