Topic on Talk:Edit Review Improvements/New filters for edit review

My default filter is set to show only "Human (not bot)" and "Latest revision", but the updates are clogged with Wikidata edits (which I have no interest in seeing). And it's not just the latest Wikidata edit for a specific page: I'm getting all of them.

For example, D Rutgers University (Q499451); 13:10 . . GDW531441 (talk | contribs) (‎Changed claim: Property:P463: Q5583848), D Rutgers University (Q499451); 13:08 . . GDW531441 (talk | contribs) (‎Changed claim: Property:P138: Q12094720), D Rutgers University (Q499451); 13:07 . . GDW531441 (talk | contribs) (‎Changed claim: Property:P31: Q21032617), and D Rutgers University (Q499451); 13:00 . . GDW531441 (talk | contribs) (‎Changed claim: Property:P31: Q615150) are all showing up as updates.

This is a real pain in the neck. How do I filter all of the Wikidata edits out?

You're seeing relevant Wikidata edits (i.e., edits to Wikidata items about that page on your wiki, or or referred to in the wikitext of that page). This is by request of many of our editing communities, who wish to bolster the anti-vandalism patrolling of relevant content for readers.

If you don't want to see certain types of change, you should scroll down to the Types of change options in the Recent Changes menu, and unselect Wikidata edits.

Thanks for your fast reply. Do you mean the Recent Changes menu under Preferences? In that tab under Advanced Options, "Show Wikidata edits by default in recent changes" was already unchecked. On the Watchlist page there's a Recent Changes link in the far left column under Community Portal, but clicking on that doesn't show Types of Change options. What am I missing?

In the filters menu on the Recent Changes page itself (the dropdown with all the check boxes where you can turn filters on and off), you have to go to "Types of change" and select everything except "Wikidata edits". This is because selecting nothing for a category is treated the same as selecting everything.

Thanks, that did the trick. I've got to say, "selecting nothing for a category is treated the same as selecting everything" is hardly intuitive!
