Show only relevant wikidata property changes on client wiki

Problem:

if I select Show Wikidata edits in your watchlist from settings then I get a lot of edits that are irrelevant in local wiki's context and changes will flood the watchlist. Currently there is phab:T90436, which tries to add a more refined filtering by using information of which properties are loaded. However, even this may be too wide for common users as values from wikidata can be used only for filtering or data validation. This proposal tries to narrow the selection by using roughly the properties mentioned in template documentation as a selector.

Who would benefit:

users who would like to follow wikidata edits from their local wiki.
Wikidata could crowdsource the edit patrolling to client wikis

Proposed solution:

Flag the wikidata changes of the properties linked from transcluded templates of the wikipage as important (in client wiki)
- Example query of the important changes using Quarry
- Flagging could be done for example with tags for prototyping or with something like mw:Wikibase/Schema/wbc_entity_usage for wider use.
Add edit filter for filtering flagged changes to Watchlist and Recent changes

Support Increased monitoring of Wikidata edits is a key tool for addressing the project's massive vandalism problem. That won't happen unless it's possible to watchlist them without getting flooded with notices that Jane Smith was just labelled "Jane Smith" in Polish. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 18:10, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support If the goal is watch to relevant editions of the wikidata in their local wiki, the proposal is excellent. WikiFer ^msg 22:38, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support The current "feature" is just a firehose of extraneous WL hits and is basically useless. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ >^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ< 08:37, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
