Following several requests from users over the past eight years [0], we are finally enabling access to ToolsDB's "public" databases (the ones with a name ending with "_p") [1] from both Quarry [2] and Superset [3].

The data stored in those databases have always been accessible to every Toolforge user, but after this change they will become more broadly accessible, as Quarry can be accessed by anyone with a Wikimedia account, and saved queries in Quarry can be shared with public links that require no login at all.

== This change is planned to go live on Monday, July 1st. ==

If you have any concerns or questions related to this change, please leave a comment in the Phabricator task or one of its subtasks. [0]

Thanks to everyone for your patience and for keeping the task alive over the years!
