Hello all,

You may have noticed some changes on the Query Service https://query.wikidata.org interface :) We added a toolbar so you can access easily the main functions of your favorite SPARQL endpoint.

- the *expand* icon allows you to switch to full-screen mode. You can exit this mode by pressing the "escape" key - the *pin* icon shows you the useful prefixes you may want to use in your query - the *folder* icon is another way to display the queries examples - the *previous* icon allows you to go back to the previous query you wrote (the content is stored in the local storage of your browser, so you can also find back the last query you wrote before closing the tab or browser) - the *bin* icon deletes the whole content of the editor (if you do this by mistake, don't panic, use the previous button to get your query back ^^) - the *chain* icon displays the short URL of your query - and last but not least, the "run" button has been replaced by a simple *play button*

The rest of the interface remains the same. We're also continuing working on the Query Helper box, on the top right of the screen, that allows beginners to edit queries without touching the code. We will soon introduce to you the new filter tool based on context aware suggestions. What do you think? If you notice any bug or want to make a suggestion, feel free to add a comment on the ticket https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T170279, or to ping me or Jonas Kress (WMDE) https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Jonas_Kress_%28WMDE%29.

Cheers,
