Yes, that's what I suggested in bug 36160. The contributions link isn't the
problem. The behavior in MediaWiki right now is that it either shows no tool
links for unregistered users, or all links. And "all links" also contains a
link to the User page that is labeled with the IP-address (see
http://wikitech.wikimedia.org/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin ). For the link
itself MyPage can be used but the label contains the IP-address
([[mw:Manual:$wgShowIPinHeader).

We could change the behavior to instead show a generic (without red/blue links)
header for unregistered users that doesn't name the user by it's name (or IP in
this case) but just says "My user page", or alternatively, we could remove the
link to the User page alltogether, in most cases this was already removed in
MediaWiki (showing a link to the contributions page instead for IP-users).
