The thing to remember is that the history of a page is the history of the wiki markup for the page, not the history of the rendered HTML. It would be misleading if edits were shown in the markup history for an article each time a template or Wikidata item changed because reverting the markup to that version wouldn't actually revert the change. I think what curators with specific specialties want is the ability to automatically expand their watchlist to include all templates and data items that could affect their watched pages. Then a way to view the merged watchlists from multiple projects would be helpful. There is room for improvement in global account integration. For example, I just noticed that I need to set my timezone on Wikipedia and Wikidata independently.
FYI: Wikidata edits relating to a watched article should already show up in the user's Wikipedia watchlist.
