Hi. There are two kinds of watchlist email messages. If some page was edited, there are three links: current version, edit diff, all edits from this one diff. But if the change was in logger (user was blocked, new rights and so on), there is only one link - to the user page. It does not help at all. We even do not know what was the change. Could you please add a second link - to logger page with this user as target? We can see all the changes there. Thank you very much.

What is a "logger page"? Any URL/link to share?

For example, I get this message:

It could be:
