What about changes on commons.media.org? e.g. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArticleFoo uses commons.media.org/wiki/File:Bar.jpg, when the image file is updated on commons.media.org, will there be an "rc type=external" entry appears in en's recentchange list?
Thanks

the reason you're seeing so many rctype="external" edits is that
interwiki
links (usually links to the article in other languages), are now
provided by
Wikidata.
That's right. When a change on Wikidata is made, it injects these rctype="external" entries into the local wiki so that the Wikidata changes can show up in the local Special:RecentChanges and Special:Watchlist.
