Add Wikimedia Commons Query Service endpoint in the WDQS federation whitelist
Open, Stalled, LowPublic

Description

Wikimedia Commons Query Service[1] should be added to WDQS federation whitelist so that image metadata could be used in WDQS queries and more specifically in tools like "Wikidata list" [2]

The real-life use case would be reading date information of P18 defined photos in listeria lists.[2] This would be working even if the endpoint would be limited as "low volume" endpoint.

Event Timeline

It's currently not possible - as long as Wikimedia Commons Query Service is in beta, OAuth authorization will not work with federation. We want to reevaluate this federation once we productionize WCQS.

CBogen moved this task from Incoming to SDAW on the Wikidata-Query-Service board.

WCQS is not in beta anymore. But this likely depends on the outcome of T376979, if T376979 even has an outcome.

Could be worth considering the naming 'Whitelist', as per T254646
