Description

I got an e-mail notification about a wiki page having been changed, but there are no details in the message, and the page history does not "now" of a change at that time by that user:

(Sidenote: The Enotifwatchlist system is a completely separate (and much much older) system than Notifications (Extension:Echo). The next step towards fixing that is T128351: Notifications should be in core.)
