  I re-checked the current filter selection/preference options and default 
filters set up for possible bugs. I could not find any regression bugs and, so 
far, it seems like a usability issue. That was aso stated in T224426: Wikidata 
changes and categorization changes are in Special:RecentChanges even not 
enabled in preferences <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T224426>.
  
  To summarize 
  (1) ** if no filters are selected ** on Special:RecentChanges, everything 
(including wikidata edits) will be displayed.
  (2) the **RC default filter** set (and if nothing was changed in 
Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rc) **doesn't include wikidata edits**
  (3) Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rc option "Show Wikidata edits **by 
default** in recent changes" will **add wikidata filter to the default filters 
on RC **(confirmed on `dewiki` and `frwiki`).
  
  The words "by default", as far as I could see, are not present in `dewiki`. 
In fact, "by default" is present only for  `Message documentation (qqq):"Option 
in the recent changes section of preferences to show wikibase changes by 
default in recent changes."` on 
https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:Translations?message=MediaWiki%3AWikibase-rc-show-wikidata-pref&namespace=8.
 It might confuse users into thinking that Wikidata edits should be shown only 
if the option is checked.
