This seems to be explicitly disabled at the moment in SkinTemplate.php:

FIXME # 'active' => ( $href == $pageurl . '/' . $this->username )

If just uncommented it would fail on usernames with spaces, special chars, etc,
and also on subsequent views with extra parameters because of how the target
gets passed differently.

Use the Title object. Seems trivial to fix... something like

$contributions_title =& Title::makeTitle(NS_SPECIAL, 'Contributions/' .
$this->username);
$contributions_url = $user->escapeLocalURL();

Above fix wouldn't fix the problem on "subsequent views with extra parameters"
though. It's a half-step towards the solution. Somehow, the skin would have to
know that: one, the current page was Special:Contributions and two, the current
page's target was the current username.

Hallo!

Maybe a "half-step towards the solution" is better then actual behaviour.
[[Special:Recentchangeslinked/Main_Page]] does not have this problem. It shoes
2468 watched items both in wiki syntax and with special parameters.

Marking as 'depends on':
Bug 2468: The code that generates the namespace form for Special:Contributions,
Special:Allpages and Special:Recentchanges should be merged

best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]

please read
It shoes *bold* watched items both in wiki syntax and with special parameters.

Sorry wrong "copy and paste".

Remove bogus dependency. Please stop spreading this crap all over the place.

I first noticed this bug. It hadn't been commented on in a while. It seems like
it should be simple to fix. I also noticed that MediaWiki itself doesn't do the
whole bold highlighting thing. Shouldn't it?
