Description

After an initial enablement on a small set of wikis for mobile (T319362) of the persistent entry point to contribute (T322740), we want to also enable it for desktop (on the same group of wikis).

The proposed enablement will be for the desktop skins and on the following small set of Wikipedias:

Albanian (sq)
Bangla (bn)
Malayalam (ml)
Mongolian (mn)
Tagalog (tl)

As part of the ticket we'll explore how the entry point works on the different desktop skins, which will inform the decision on which ones to enable on first (if there are any issues with enabling it more generally).

ToDo

Enable the new Special:Contribute page entry point for desktop in Beta Wikipedias.
- Test cases:
  - https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/USERNAME
  - Special:Contribute: https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:Contribute

Enable the new Special:Contribute page entry point for desktop in production for selected Wikipedias.
- Test cases:
  - https://bn.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/USERNAME
  - Special:Contribute: https://bn.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contribute
