Can you please describe the behavior you would expect? Should https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions display the desktop interface?

maybe desktop form in mobile skin? and after a username is entered show contribs in mobile layout.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions sends me to
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions , it then says "No
such page".

There are two (possible) concerns here:

1. The desktop site redirects to the mobile site.

2. The mobile site is having issues with "Special:Contributions".

I think this bug should be about the second issue. As reported on enwiki's VPT, Android users who are logged out (i.e. IP editing) cannot view "Special:MyContributions" nor "Special:Contributions" when entered in the search bar. A "no such page" page is loaded, with no formatting and in what looks like a desktop-type error page.

So, from both an experienced and new user perspective, this doesn't seem like an issue. If you've navigated to Special:Contributions on the mobile site, that means you've manually typed it into the search bar -- which means you're a sophisticated user of Mediawiki and know that you can type "slash username" to get to the contribs of any specific user (which is all you really want to do on Special:Contribs, right?). Otherwise, there's no way to get to Special:Contributions on the mobile site (please correct me if I'm wrong), so it's unlikely that a new user is going to accidentally land on it and get confused by it. Though we *could* theoretically spend time designing and building a separate generic Special:Contribs page that works on mobile, it's unclear to me who we would be building it for, and thus doesn't seem like it's worth the trouble.

What?

There are multiple things wrong with the Android Wikipedia web platform involving "contributions" pages.

1. I type in "Special:Contributions" and hit enter. I'm taken to an error page geared for desktop users with no Wiki*edia formatting and a couple lines of text.

2. I type in "Special:Contributions/Killion" and hit enter. I'm taken to an error page within the Wikipedia mobile skin and it tells me there were no results matching the query.

3. I am logged out (IP editing). I type in "Special:MyContributions" and hit enter. I'm taken to an error page geared for desktop users with no Wiki*edia formatting and a couple lines of text.

Here are some screencaps for the above cases.

2. (I meant to say Special:Contributions/Killiondude) in #c6 http://imgur.com/bVHcFi2

3. Same as #1, http://imgur.com/00lkkAz

Both are case sensitive.
Your contributions page works fine for me
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Killiondude

What you seem to be describing is a different enhancement request around searching and case sensitivity.

Both are case sensitive.

I just tested and you are correct. However, scenarios 1 and 3 from comment 6 are still broken, regardless of proper case. Same error page shows.

scenario 3 should be a separate bug and easy to fix.
scenario 1 is consistent with what the original bug report asks for but as mentioned above it is not clear what the right behaviour should be.

It should behavior as if no mobile view has been designed for it at all?
