Description

When you click on an embedded query, such as this:

https://query.wikidata.org/embed.html#%23municipalities%20without%20image%0A%23defaultView%3AMap%0A%0ASELECT%20DISTINCT%20%3Fitem%20%3Fcoord%20%3Fkod%0AWHERE%0A%7B%0A%09%3Fitem%20wdt%3AP2788%20%3Fkod%20.%0A%20%20%20%20MINUS%20%7B%3Fitem%20wdt%3AP18%20%3Fimg%20.%7D%0A%20%20%20%20OPTIONAL%20%7B%20%3Fitem%20wdt%3AP625%20%3Fcoord%20.%20%7D%0A%7D

You first get to a page with a logo and wait until the result is loaded.

I think many visitors just close the window before it loads. It would be great if there was some explanation, such as "Inializing... please wait" or something.

What do you think?

It shows 'Loading' and a progress bar on top.
Does it need to be more obvious?

I could make it more prominent.
