As an editor who has:
* a page watchlisted (e.g. on metawiki)
* the Preferences setting enabled for `Email me when a page or a file on my watchlist is changed`
* the Preferences setting //disabled// for `Show Wikidata edits in your watchlist`
If the (metawiki) page's associated Wikidata item is changed, then
Current results:
* I receive an email saying that the (metawiki) page was changed, without any clue about what actually changed.
Expected results:
* If the preference is //disabled// for `Show Wikidata edits in your watchlist` - then don't send an email at all
* If the preference is enabled - then send an email with a clear description/link for what changed and where.

For example: I just got the following email.

I couldn't find any traces of that edit though, so I checked on Wikidata, and [[ https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q11168190&type=revision&diff=311105113&oldid=306616087 | found it there instead ]].
The message is confusing.
