Currently it isn't feasible to use watchlist with wikidata changes in local wikis as it introduce too much noise, and this is the one of the main points against introducing wikidata to more templates by wikipedia editors, claiming there is no simple way to track against vandalism in templates using wikidata.

I may work on it in the upcoming Wikimania hackthon. Specifically I'm planing to change how wikibase client works regarding watchlists:

  1. filter out changes in wikidata which affect other languages (e.g label/description in [xx] language shouldn't appear for wiki with [yy] language). Possibly fallback languages may appear.
  2. Possibly same for sitelinks

(*) I'm aware that it MAY theoretically possible to use Lua to fetch label in other languages other than the local wiki language. However, this is extremely unlikely and if one want to support it we need to figure out how to track it easily.
