Might go hand-in-hand with the user states system I proposed at bug 4350 comment #5.

MediaWiki is using (also) using *gray* for topics which does not applay in the
actual context. Example: "Newer revision→" for the last revision is gray. Then
just a text apears and no link.

"special:Contributions/Foo" is a special page. It can not be edited. This is why
it should not be red.

*question*
Is this request just about [[special:Log]] or also about User contributions in
the "toolbox"?

How is that at all relevant to *this* discussion?

Having spoken to the person submitting the request in IRC, I would guess this
applies to links in logs, etc. but not the toolbox.

This could work out to be too expensive to calculate when creating the links;
the linker code would have to do a count on the fly.

Fixed in r19610 apparently. Also see followups such as r32996 and r33006 (so it isn't used many places other than Special:Log/newusers afaik).
