elsewhere, but that's pretty much the same thing.
Couldn't we just have statistics? 'Out of X admins checked, Y (Z%) had email disabled. Please check to confirm your email in enabled, especially if you block people.'
...so a thousand admins need to check their preferences, rather than those where we actually have a problem. This just wastes the time of almost everyone, rather than helping the affected people solve the problem. What does it gain us?

Statistics are good if you want to say there is a problem with unenabled emails, talk page notes are good if you want to bug certain people to fix things.
Wasn't Autowikibrowser designed to make this sort of thing easy?
