The link to Special:Contributions is alright I suppose, but not wholly necessary. The Profile Masthead is always visible alongside a direct link to a User’s Contributions, so it is quite superfluous in my opinion. In addition, due to the shared link, unique fonts or colors applied to administrators also applies to the link, & it looks very ugly if I do say so myself. Luckily, one of my associate Councilors was able to cook up some JavaScript almost instantly that removes the link from the Edit Count, & that is one Java snippet that I intend to be utilizing on most if not all of the Wikis I curate (I’m sorry Rappy) to revert that link to its previous state. It is simply not necessary & can lead to aesthetic issues for any Wiki with remotely customized links.
