There is an extra newline on watchlist tab options separating "prefs-watchlist-days" and "tog-extendwatchlist", while on other tabs there is no such newline. Please remove it for consistency in interface.
Created attachment 1815 [details] Remove extra spacing on watchlist tab on Special:Preferences
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.
Changing summary to reflect the real issue.

Comment on attachment 1815 [details] 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.
