Use case(s) (list the steps that you performed to discover that problem, and describe the actual underlying problem which you want to solve. Do not describe only a solution):
I often need to look at a user's local contributions, to take actions like checking for older/more edits, reverting multiple edits, or making local blocks.

Benefits (why should this be implemented?):
To get to the local contributions page from Special:GlobalContributions, you currently need to click on the links to the user page, talk page, or diff, then click contribs. This is an unnecessary extra click.

T385285#10590502 mentions the same feature request, I agree that local contribution links would be very useful

Agree that we should add in the local contribs link as suggested. This link was always intended to be part of Special:GlobalContributions as we are aiming for feature parity with guc.

Change #1139036 had a related patch set uploaded (by Dreamy Jazz; author: Dreamy Jazz):

For QA, I would suggest checking that for both external and local wiki revisions a "contribs" link is present in the user tool links for each revision line. This link should point to the associated wiki with the page being the contributions by that user.

QA is completed, I have verified the new code has been implemented and is functioning as expected (results from Special page: GlobalContributions are displaying contribs link to Special:Contributions).
