I don't understand why you'd want to remove it and cramp up the interface. It
makes much more sense to me to add extra spacing and made the controls clearer
and easier to use.

The reason is consistency on user interface.

• On the "Recent changes" tab, there's no space between entry of "Titles in recent changes" and check box

for "Hide minor edits in recent changes"

• On the "Editing" tab, there's no space between entry of "Rows" and "Cols" and check box for "Enable

sections editing..."

• On the "Misc" tab, there's no space between entry of "Underline links" and check box for "Format broken

links..."

But suddenly, there's a space between "Number of days to show in watchlist:" and "Hide my edits from the
watchlist". If user navigate between the tabs, they'll notice the difference in the interface. IMHO, it
better be consistent. Either add extra newline on the three other tabs, or remove the extra newline on
the "Watchlist" tab.

Remove extra spacing on watchlist tab on Special:Preferences

Thanks for submitting a patch to MediaWiki. Unfortunately I'm going to have to
mark the patch as obsolete because it no longer merges into our current code.

Also, closing as WFM since the new preferences system doesn't seem to have this problem.
