⚠️ We are continuing to work on Wikidata Query Service's scalability. To be able to continue to provide a service for everyone, we have been working on splitting the graph in Wikidata Query Service for a long time. (1/2)

This has now happened and the graph is split into a main graph (that continues to be at query.wikidata.org) and a scholarly graph (that is at query-scholarly.wikidata.org). For more details please see wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:… (2/2)

💫 The Wikidata and Sister Projects event is about to start! Join us for the opening, the state of Wikidata usage in Wikimedia projects and Wikifunctions before playing some games. For information about how to join see: wikidata.org/wiki/Event:Wik…
