In a critical evaluation of the current Special:Preferences layout and information structuring, @Pginer-WMF has provided a proposal that restructures and simplifies grouping of 'Basic information' section.
Implementation steps:

[mediawiki/core@master] [POC][DNM] Special:Preferences: Re-design the view-only "basic" section
Is that the entire page? Where are all the parts that were in "signature" and "email options" now? Is "restore defaults" still down the page?
To be clear, it is obviously not the entire page, and obviously "signature", "email options", "restore defaults" and so on would still be in their previous places below. This task is only about the "Basic information" sub-section. :)
Note that while WMF wikis disable the "real name" field, a default MW install includes one:
so our design should account for this being present.
In my opinion the two data fields, edits and registration date shouldn't be directly connected.
It's better to say “8 edits. Registered at 20:20, 11 November 2020“
We shouldn't make those one message sounding like we're pointing with the finger.
