Thanks for the additional details @Addshore ! Some context: this task isn't being worked right now. I just created it as a potential future analysis because I had just become aware that Wikidata item properties were tracked specifically in wbc_entity_usage and think some good numbers on this would be valuable to track. Based on what you said, I think I should probably rename this task to focus on the edit history as that's closer to what I'm actually interested in (I now see the confusion that the current title causes) -- i.e. edits that originate on Wikidata and actually change the content of an associated Wikipedia article. The Wikidata tracking in Recent Changes feed seems to be still far too noisy for this purpose. Looking at English Wikipedia for example, the challenge with the Recent Changes feed of Wikidata edits <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges?hidebots=1&hidepageedits=1&hidenewpages=1&hidecategorization=1&hidelog=1&limit=50&days=30&urlversion=2> is that almost none of those changes (I couldn't actually find any in my quick checking) actually affected the content of the page. Sitelinks obviously matter but I'm not considering them at the moment. Almost all the property changes in that feed are surfaced because the associated Wikipedia article has a generic C property on the wbc_entity_usage table (as opposed to C.P#### indicating that specific properties are being transcluded). I don't actually understand why they have that C property listed on wbc_entity_usage. > The approach described in the description is likely to get you some fairly unreliable data. Could you provide some more details here?
