Description

Flow needs to be included in the Recent Changes API.

~~There might be an optimization that affects this; grep on T104083.~~

Original report:

Unpatrolled edits do not appear in the API, breaking users scripts¹. Compare

with

https://pt.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=recentchanges&rcprop=timestamp|title|ids|patrolled&rclimit=max&rcuser=179.34.17.182
- https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/179.34.17.182
