We need a way to more specifically and reliably filter Wikibase recent changes in the client. We can't just rely on RC_EXTERNAL, as something else might use that.

The filtering currently sort-of works, but all Wikidata changes are regarded as anonymous changes.
(In reply to comment #2) > The filtering currently sort-of works, but all Wikidata changes are regarded > as anonymous changes. This means that RC with the "hide logged in users" option (something that is used a lot by patrollers) is flooded with Wikidata edits, as there are way more of them then local anonymous edits. This is a major problem right now for the Hungarian Wikipedia. Example: https://hu.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Speci%C3%A1lis:Friss_v%C3%A1ltoztat%C3%A1sok&hideliu=1&uselang=en
There is an option to hide / show Wikidata in RC. Does this not work as expected? I.e. I understand that https://hu.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Speci%C3%A1lis:Friss_v%C3%A1ltoztat%C3%A1sok&hidewikidata=0&hideliu=1&uselang=en might be regarded as flooded, but does this https://hu.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Speci%C3%A1lis:Friss_v%C3%A1ltoztat%C3%A1sok&hidewikidata=1&hideliu=1&uselang=en not solve that problem?
I see the two linked pages as identical, and the show/hide Wikidata option does not appear to me. Apparently another bug related to enhanced recent changes, if I disable that, the option is visible and works as expected (see bug 44225 and bug 44222). I agree that the show/hide option would be a good temporary solution. Enhanced recent changes is enabled for a lot of editors, though.
