@Multichill Possibly a duplicate of T65577: Create a "Watching and notifications" tab in MediaWiki core and/or T54337: Move email notification for watched pages into Echo ? (As noted in the former, one difficulty is that Echo is an optional extension, whereas this feature (enotifwatchlist) is part of core...)

If moving these options to "echo" is difficult, can they at least be moved to the "Watchlist" tab? This will be even more appropriate, since the "Notifications" tab currently has no watchlist options. Please see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)#Preferences.

I do agree that the current organization is really not great, and moving it to "Watchlist" under a new "Email notifications" section seems like it would be better...but then what about the rest of the email notification preferences that aren't necessarily watchlist-related?

That said, there's some relevant comments at T65577#2365495 and https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Redesign_user_preferences has even more suggestions and commentary.

what about the rest of the email notification preferences that aren't necessarily watchlist-related?

The "notification-related" email settings are already located in the "Notifications" tab. Other email settings, about password reset and user interactions, should naturally remain in the "User profile" tab (there is currently no other place for them anyway).
