Thank you Dragan! I understand this applied more changes than the prefix, but it contains some useful hints on where I might have to look.
As a quick question, do you recall if changes were necessary to the back-end with Blazegraph? I am happy for now that the frond-end is configured with workable prefixes, but the back-end still interprets default Wikidata prefixes.
Best/thanks, Aidan

Here's a list of annotated changes Rhizome did to the query service to customize, among other things, the prefixes:

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 <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 <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 <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.
