Description

Summary

As part of T395148: IP reveal: Broken when on the history page, not using AMC, and using MinervaNeue skin, links in contributions pages were fixed to be clickable again
We also discussed about why these links are shown as gray, but finally decided to keep them gray and only focus on restoring the link behavior itself.
However, it was later decided that the links should indeed be blue.

Technical notes

Likely, this is just a matter of restoring the changes highlighted as removed in this diff: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/skins/MinervaNeue/+/1152687/2..7

Right now, the colors are shown like this (i.e. in gray):

However, the links in the page should be blue, as shown in the following screen:

Acceptance criteria

Links in the contributions list, including links to user pages and those from IPReveal (the "Show IP" button and links to IPs once the button is clicked) are blue when using MinervaNeue.

@Jdlrobson I see you worked on https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/skins/MinervaNeue/+/1013600 a while ago. In that patch, the selector .history-user a was intentionally not included in the CSS rules removed by the patch, keeping the userlink as gray (--color-subtle). As of today, that color also applies to an additional "Show IP" action link and the link to the IP itself it adds to the row when clicked.

Recently we merged https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/skins/MinervaNeue/+/1152687, where we had a discussion about whether having the links to user pages as gray was an intentional decision or if they should be colored as blue. We think they should be blue, but maybe you know why the user links were left as gray in the first place?

kostajh moved this task from Priority Backlog to Needs Review on the Trust and Safety Product Sprint (Sprint Baklava (June 16 - July 4)) board.

The patch is currently downvoted, which blocks the resolution of this task: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/skins/MinervaNeue/+/1154024

The root cause seems a misunderstanding of what we want to archieve vs the reasons that made the rows gray in the first place.

IMO, the changes in the patch as they stand now are needed in order to make the links that are already clickable to be shown as blue while keeping the current behavior that makes the page hide secondary links if accessed with a mobile resolution (i.e. hide "prev", "next", "talk" "contribs", "blocks" & "undo" links on mobile).

@hector.arroyo I see you left an explanatory message on the patch. I believe @Jdlrobson-WMF is on a sabbatical until mid-August. @ovasileva is there anyone else on your team who could take a look in the meantime?

As discussed in Slack, I'm moving this ticket out of the sprint so we can discuss later if the links should be blue or kept as gray instead.
