It should be possible now to render the Contributions and History pages in core inside Minerva in such a way that they are mostly consistent with the current rendering of these pages in mobile.
This will remove a hefty chunk of technical debt and set us up nicely for improving the UI in AMC mode.
his is a precursor to removing the SpecialMobileHistory and
Special:MobileContributions inside MobileFrontend. This will address many bugs.
= Noted Visual differences:
* Dates will be repeated, even if they are identical (solveable with JS if needed )
* The link at the top of the history page linking back to the article will become a tagline rather than a standalone heading
* User icons would not be displayed (solveable)
= To do
There is a problem on Special:Contributions with the invisible ‎ code. It pushes the title down further than it should. I will create a bug, but a [[ https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/499326 | patch exists with some discussion ]].
Talk to Alex about the header behaviour:
```
var last;
$('.mw-changeslist-date-date').each(function(i,a ) {
var cur = $(a).text();
if (cur === last) {
$(a).css('visibility', 'hidden');
$(a).parents('li').css( 'margin-top','-30px');
}
last = $(a).text();
} );
```
