Description charitwo 2008-10-13 00:48:38 UTC 
I noticed something earlier today on a wiki outside Wikimedia servers and thought it might just be a problem there, but with the help of kylu, I tested it on Meta and confirmed it doesn't work on Wikimedia wikis either.

Compare:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:NewPages&hidebots=0&namespace=4&username=User%3AKylu

to

http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?limit=2&title=Special%3AContributions&contribs=user&target=Kylu&namespace=4&year=2008&month=10

Kylu flagged herself as a bot to perform this test and made the page and it indeed did not show as one would expect.

You don't need to put "User:" before the username on Newpages.
Comment 2 charitwo 2008-10-13 01:11:40 UTC 
Perhaps it would be best to clarify in the default messaging where "User:" is required and where it is not.
