Snaterlicious added a comment. Although I had quite some thinking about the problem, please excuse if I do not get it right in the first run. The following is more of a general perception. It would be awesome to have some kind of global watchlist. But since there is not and as long as implementing such is out of scope, why should it not be left to the user to watch repo pages on the repo (Wikidata) and have more or less extensive filter options there? As for the client (Wikipedia), would the already existing "Show|Hide Wikidata changes" not be enough already? Of course, only changes directly affecting the watched article should be propagated--no Labels, Description, Aliases or other Statements unless those are explicitely integrated into an article being watched. No sister projects, no Badges on articles in other languages. Even global recent changes in the client should contain only changes to Statements that are actually used in the client.
In a perfect world, Wikidata would seamlessly integrate into Wikipedia and there would be no need to switch context for a Wikipedia user--may it be for adding some Site Link or changing some Statement. Although the technical perspective is different, from the view of Wikipedia, a change to a Wikidata value integrated into a Wikipedia page is a change to the Wikipedia page. It should be possible to revert or change that exact value from within the client using the client's native concepts. In that scenario, even the "Show|Hide Wikidata" filter would be obsolete as, within the client's scope, all changes would be registered as changes to client content. Bothering client users with context-insensitive phrases and mechanisms should be avoided. A dedicated power of Wikidata should be unobtrusiveness; I oppose blowing up the client with options just because it is possible. Promoting Wikidata should not be done by imposing additional complexity on Wikipedia users.
