Feature summary: when a statement in Wikidata is edited in order to add a reference, the edit summary should contain the links to all the properties which compose the reference
Use case(s):
- edit a statement adding a reference
- if the edit is done through the Wikidata UI, the edit summary is "changed claim" etc. (e.g. https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q112382667&diff=prev&oldid=1821828017)
- if the edit is done through a gadget like UseAsRef (e.g. https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q112382667&diff=prev&oldid=1821789587) or a tool like QuickStatements (e.g. https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q57079760&diff=prev&oldid=1819947141), the edit summary is "added reference to claim" etc.
- in both cases, nothing is said in the edit summary about how the reference is composed; this makes patrolling through LastChange, UserContributions or Watchlist more difficult, because each edit has to be opened in order to see what the reference actually contains (a reference URL, an "imported from: Wikipedia", an external ID etc.)
Benefits: it makes patrolling easier (just from edit summary, the patroller can spot the type of reference that has been added)
