Where the Contribute entry point (T322740) is available (for example, [in Albanian Wikipedia](https://sq.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speciale:Contribute)), it provides users with two tabs: "Contribute" (with access to tools to start new contributions) and "View Contributions" (the list of past contributions by the user).
Currently, the "Contribute" tab is always the default. Thus, users regularly accessing "View contributions" as part of their workflow, have to always switch to the "View Contributions" tab. The table below illustrates the different views involved in this workflow:
|Navigation menu|Contribute| View contributions|
|---|---|---|
|{F37638832, size=full}|{F37638834, size=full}|{F37638836, size=full}|
# Adjust the default destination
This ticket proposes to adjust the tab that the user navigates to by default to by considering the previous selections, and the existence of previous contributions by the user:
- If the user has selected one of the tabs before, that will be the default tab.
- If the user has no contributions yet, the "Contribute" tab will be the default unless the "View contributions" option (will show an empty list) was explicitly selected before.
- If the user has made no previous selection and there are contributions to show, the "View Contributions" tab will be shown as default.
In this way, the "View Contributions tab" will be the default tab shown unless (a) the user selects a different tab or (b) there are no contributions to list.
{F37638858, size=full}
# Adjust the navigation menu option
With the above proposal, the item from the navigation option (currently labeled "Contribute") may lead to either of the tabs. This ticket proposes to change the label to "Contributions" which is a more generic term that can encompass both "Contribute" and "View contributions".
