It is a tricky case:

| is selected in user preferences | I can Show/Hide Wikidata edits | I can Show/Hide Wikidata edits |
| is not selected in user preferences | I have a non working option to Show/Hide Wikidata edits - T169638 | I can display Wikidata edits in RCs |
On some users minds, display Wikidata edits in RCs when "Show Wikidata edits in recent changes" option is not selected is not supposed to happen. I'm not supposed to see Wikidata edits in RCs at all. This is tracked on T168620: Clarify the deprecation of RC-related settings to affected users.
Wikidata edits are not visible when any filter in "Type of change" group. 3 filters of that group are used in the default set of filters, so people using the new filters not notice they can have suddenly Wikidata items displayed.
We also have to consider that people who user the Beta filters are more often incline to use Wikidata.
So I recommend:
- Configure RecentChanges as you want the default to be. To hide Wikidata, check all the boxes in that group you want to see (unchecking Wikidata).
- Save a filter.
- Go to Saved filters, ... next to the filter you just saved, Set as default.
I keep it as some advice for people who want to exclude Wikidata edits from their RC results list.
I let you close the task if needed.
