Description:
Current user contribution page only shows detailed log for users' contributions sorted
by time.
It would be better to provide more flexible and summarized views for users to see what
he/she did for a day, for a week, for a month, for a topic, etc.
And I don't know why people cannot view others' contributions in mediaWiki. In a
research group, the supervisors should have the right to view group member's
contributions to know what a person did during a period. The same goal may be achieved
by add and enhance the search function in Recent changes page.

What do you mean by "cannot view others' contributions"? Surely that's what the
user contributions page is for?

Go to their user page and select "User contributions" from the toolbar.

Well, I found a hacker's way to do this just now: change the user id at the end of the URL:
index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=userid
Is there any other more natual way to do this?
