An editor on the Cantonese Wikipedia has noticed that Special:RecentChanges has stopped displaying interwiki links. Is that a permanent, deliberate change? And if so, is it possible for an individual editor to re-enable the display of interwikis on such special pages?

Generally: it looks like this is an old bug (at least 2015), per https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T102888 ("[Bug] Recent changes pages doesn't have anymore the interlingual wikilinks on the sidebar on some projects") and connected tasks.
Specifically: A newer bug, which might be why things have recently changed at zh-yue, is https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T172461 ("Special:RecentChanges no longer displays interwiki links on wikis that have added them to MediaWiki:Recentchangestext")

Hi!
In 2015 the interwiki links for the recent changes page were provided by Wikidata but that stopped working (or was never supposed to work like that?) and T102888 was reported.
As a work around, the interwikis were moved to MediaWiki:Recentchangestext but that also stopped working on the first week of August (this year) and reported as T172461
A comment in that Phabricator item indicates that, as a work around, the interwiki links can be moved to MediaWiki:Recentchanges-summary
Looks like that doesn't work un some wikis but might help in your case.
Saludos, Luis Sanabria
