Description

Editors currently lack sufficient visibility into WD-originated changes that affect their articles, creating gaps in review, accountability, and trust within standard editorial workflows.

The core idea is straightforward:
Changes that affect article content should be visible to editors in the same places and workflows, regardless of whether they originate locally or via Wikidata. If a Wikidata-driven update alters what a reader sees on a page, then:

It should appear in Recent Changes.
It should appear on Watchlists.
It should be attributable, understandable, and reviewable like any other edit.

This aligns with long-standing Wikimedia norms around transparency, community oversight, and shared responsibility for content quality.
