This simply means that whenever you use action=wblinktitles in the api the
ID in the result will now be Q123 instead of just 123!

Hi Lydia,
this sounds as a major step for Wikidata, but... can you (or someone
else) please explain it a bit further?
I'm doing my part in communicating WD changes to the Italian
wiki-communities, and since the Commons issue might be interesting
also for other stuff, I'd like to know a bit more.

Hey folks :)
Next week we will deploy an API change in preparation for support for
Wikimedia Commons. wblinktitle will return a prefixed ID starting Tuesday
night if there are no complications:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52732 This is necessary
as
Commons support will break the assumption that
our identifiers are
always of
the form someletter+number like for example
Q1234.
Sorry for the disruption. If you need help with adapting your tools
please
let me know.
Cheers
Lydia
