Hi, All,
I have known that when the language link of an article changes(i.e. change from wikidata.org) we will get an "external" update.
Here I have a question:
Does the "external" update include more cases except for the change of language link. i.e. How about the changes from commons.wikimedia.org, the template changes and the image file changes?
Thanks, Ethan Liu

No, it doesn't. Note that template changes from Commons wouldn't make much sense, since cross-wiki template transclusion isn't currently possible.
So can I say only language link changes will trigger the "external" change?
Thanks!

For now. This may change in the future, for example see the discussion at http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2013-September/071890.html

Currently it is only Wikidata changes related to the Wikipedia page. It's not just language links though... can also be statements, as the data can be transcluded on the Wikipedia page with lua or the parser function.
At some point, Flow and others might use the same "external" change mechanism, so we are working to make the mechanism more flexible.
Cheers, Katie
Thanks!
