Description

Problem:
It is possible in Wikidata to change the value of a statement without changing its reference. We would like to be able to detect when such an edit is made with the abuse filter to tag these edits or show a warning to the editor. Currently it is not possible to detect such edits with abuse filter rules.

Example:
an edit changing the value without changing the reference

This might be best tackled with something like T209023 which could allow us to add some structure to the data that we pass to AbuseFilter.

A temporary hack could be adding something explicit to abuse filter text, for example, when a statement is changed that have references flag this in the text passed to abuse filter if the references were not also changed, however this would likely be a hacky mess in the code :/
