Revert r25349 and offspring; the watchlist editor shows titles, not users - a
contributions link is not appropriate here, nor is it useful
Sorry, I disagree with this revert. A link to the user contributions is
very helpful for all users who have a lot of user pages on its
watchlists (Wikipedians who welcome newbies or follow up users with
copyvios etc.).
I wouldn't have reverted had the link appeared on any page dealing
with the user in the context of a user, but the watchlist editor is
explicitly referring to the page, not the user. Ergo, it seems
completely inappropriate to me to arbitrarily change the semantics of
the context in which the title is being displayed for a single
namespace.
I don't really see a problem here; User: and Image: and such namespaces
_are_ functionally different, which is why we often treat them a little
bit differently.
It seems kind of handy to me for the tool links to include the contribs
link here, and it doesn't feel out of place.
