The simplest API we can use for this is `wbsetclaimvalue`:
`action=wbsetclaimvalue&claim=ID&value="VALUE"&snaktype=value&token=TOKEN`.
However, this won’t work when we want to edit qualifiers or references later,
or want to support edit flows that edit one or more statements. For that, we’ll
need to use `wbeditentity`. And I think we should consider using that module
right away – we don’t need to send it the full entity data, this is a working
example for the `data` parameter:
{"claims":{"P236":[{"type":"statement","id":"Q50$fc414696-44fa-0942-e531-95f315e7c0bb","mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P236","datavalue":{"type":"string","value":"7722dd"}}}]}}
We only need the property ID, statement ID, and value (assuming that “main
snak”, “custom value”, and “string” are hard-coded limitations for the time
being) – barely more than for `wbsetclaimvalue`. Currently, `wbeditentity`
results in less useful edit summaries, but that’s already being improved
independent of this task (see T220696
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T220696>).
One drawback of `wbeditentity` is that it responds with the full new entity
data, which is wasted bandwidth for us (we’re about to reload the page
anyways). Perhaps we should add a parameter to control/reduce the response – I
assume there are other users that don’t need the full response either.
