I've been using wdtaxonomy

-c Q5") produces an immediate "SPARQL request failed" message.
Could you provide more details, which query is sent and what is the full
response (including HTTP code)?
Might these requests be blocked now because of the new WDQS policies?
One thing I may think of it that this tool does not send the proper
User-Agent header. According to
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User-Agent_policy, all clients should
identify with valid user agent. We've started enforcing it recently, so
maybe this tool has this issue. If not, please provide the data above.
