Since this bug was filed in the "MediaWiki" product (not for Wikipedia
specifically), I'll reply to it as such.

As already mentioned in the above linked discussion, there is an option in the
software to show a link to the user page and talk page in the header
([[mw:Manual:$wgShowIPinHeader]], example on
http://wikitech.wikimedia.org/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin).

By default the personal portlet contains only "Log in" (or "Log in / create
account", depending on whether account registration is open). If
$wgShowIPinHeader is enabled it contains:
* 0.0.0.1
* Talk for this IP address
* Log in

We could extend the IP-header to also include:
* Contributions from this IP address

However that still leaves one problem, and is that the IP-header is disabled on
Wikipedia to allow static (user-independent) caching. So we'd have to figure
out a way to expose this link without exposing the IP itself. Probably better
to split it into two bugs. Moving this one to "Wikimedia site requests" and
opened bug 36160 for the change in the software itself.
