The "Javascript-enhanced contributions lookup 0.2" standard takes the year as the current, but that results in all contributions listed from the previous year, not including the current year. * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/198.24.31.121/16 ** lists all contributions starting from the last edit in 2013 till the beginning of time * https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?limit=50&tagfilter=&title=Special%3AContributions&contribs=user&target=198.24.31.121%2F16&namespace=&tagfilter=&year=2015&month=-1 ** lists all contributions from now till the beginning of time The standard setting for this script should be changed to include the year mentioned in the 'year' box, not until the year mentioned in the 'year' box.
This may be en.wikipedia specific, the code is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-contribsrange.js ; mentioned the bug here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_talk:Gadget-contribsrange.js#year_contributions
Yeah, it is a bug in that script, not in the MediaWiki software. Most of the people here like me couldn't actually fix it even if they wanted to (not being administrators of the English Wikipedia).
