Hello all,
As you may know, you can include changes coming from Wikidata in your
Watchlist and Recent Changes on other Wikimedia projects. Until now, this
feature didn’t always include changes made on Wikidata descriptions. This
is due to how Wikidata tracks what data is used in a given article.
Starting on December 3rd, the Watchlist and Recent Changes will include
changes on the descriptions of Wikidata Items that are used in the pages
that you watch on the client wiki. This will only include descriptions in
the language of your wiki to make sure that you’re only seeing changes that
are relevant to your wiki.
This improvement was requested by many users from different projects. We
hope that it can help contributors of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia projects
to monitor the changes on Wikidata descriptions and participate in the
effort of improving the data quality.
If you encounter any issue or want to provide feedback, feel free to use this
Phabricator ticket <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T191831>. Thanks!
