Commit summary for MediaWiki.r100315:

* Made ?contribs=user actually show the results for the *user* if 'newbies' was 
given as the user.
* Added a link batch query to newbie contribs paging

Bawolff's comment:

I wouldn't be opposed to that, although its certainly not ideal. I think its 
better to ban username newbies then it is to break all the existing links.

On the other hand, its only "newbies" with a lowercase n we have to care about, 
and we normalize all usernames to uppercase first (I believe) so we could make 
'Newbies' be the username, and 'newbies' be the new folks contribs only one 
directly from 'subpage' and not from form submit. But special casing like that 
seems evil...
