  @GoranSMilovanovic thanks! I'm pretty open on next steps. This work was done 
in part to help guide interpretation of potential WMF metrics around measuring 
transclusion but I would love to see some improvements made to the way we 
monitor transclusion if possible too. You'll have to let me know what you see 
as feasible / reasonable changes though and what I can do to help make them 
happen. In T246709#6367012 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T246709#6367012> 
I noted that there are two potential improvements I could see made based on my 
very limited knowledge of how lua / these tables work:
  
  - Distinguishing between standard statements and identifiers in Lua calls. If 
this then was reflected in wbc_entity_usage, it would be much easier to 
distinguish between transclusion that is part of linked open data and 
transclusion that is facts like birthday etc. It would also substantially 
reduce noise in Recent Changes because, at least in English Wikipedia, the very 
common metadata templates like Authority Control 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Authority_control> and Taxonbar 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Taxonbar> trigger a general C aspect 
and so changes to any part of the Wikidata item show up in Recent Changes even 
when they have no impact on the article. In theory, a filter could be added to 
Recent Changes then to change how changes to identifiers show up in the feed.
  - I'm not sure if it's possible to distinguish between transclusion and 
tracking in the wbc_entity_usage table -- e.g., a parameter that can be passed 
with lua calls that indicates that the property is only being used for 
tracking. This might just be a hacky change that long-term isn't useful, but 
tracking categories generate a lot of the entries in the wbc_entity_usage table 
and are quite different in impact than transclusion.
