Log into a Wikimedia project and click My watchlist. Note how it is bold. Now click on My contributions. Expected result: My contributions is bold Actual result: My contributions is not bold Reproducible: Always Related link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#The_.22my_contributions.22__link which lead me to file the bug. It's really trivial though.
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.
(In reply to comment #3) > ... It's a half-step towards the solution. ... 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]]

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?
