            Bug ID: 58437
           Summary: wbgetentities should include statement edit metadata
                    as well
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: WikidataRepo
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

This also applies to other information (info, sitelinks, aliases, labels,
descriptions) but especially claims are difficult to judge without metadata
which should include:

timestamp of creation (when was the claim added/edited on Wikidata) 
and 
author (who added this claim to Wikidata). 

References are great but if one cannot easily check who added a claim with
reference, their value is limited. Note that just having the full revision
history of an item or the latest revision is no usable information because most
edits only modify a part of the item. There should be a flag to wbgetentities
to extract the latest edit that modified each of the claims.
