All patches mentioned in this report were merged or abandoned - is there more work left to do here (if yes: please reset the bug report status to NEW or ASSIGNED), or can you close this ticket as RESOLVED FIXED?
Re-opening - this is still an issue in RecentChanges, and in User Contributions, and in history pages.
