Hi all,

Berkeley Law is also very curious about this...

This is a topic where I would appreciate an answer, too.
For the old, pre-Wikibase-Deploy Docker images, we forked the WDQS
frontend so that we could use "wd" prefixes with our instance (because
that seems/seemed to be the most robust way to achieve syntax
completion, etc. in the query editor).

We modified this file:
https://github.com/wikimedia/wikidata-query-gui/blob/master/wikibase/queryService/RdfNamespaces.js

Here's the diff:
https://github.com/wikimedia/wikidata-query-gui/compare/master...PDA-UR:wikidata-query-gui-graphIT:master#diff-f9f77fb16c8abe9c7aa0abfa9cb44e95e72a2c23e71e98d23b10c73f8aa4aeb5

IIRC, we imitated the way, the Rhizome Artbase did it:
https://github.com/rhizomedotorg/artbase-query-gui/blob/master/wikibase/queryService/RdfNamespaces.js

(To be clear: I'm not sure if this information does apply to the most
recent version, and this certainly is an ugly hack.)

If there is an easier way, I'd really appreciate a guide.


Cheers,
Raphael
