Deal with the legacy wikidata-query-gui releases
Closed, ResolvedPublic3 Estimated Story Points

Description

There are two old tags on github from 6 or so years ago https://github.com/wikimedia/wikidata-query-gui/releases
These are confusing next to our newer tags.

Also there is the seemingly abandoned npm package releases (that only use the tags from 6 years ago, not the newer wmde.x tags)
https://www.npmjs.com/package/wikidata-query-gui

Acceptance Criteria🏕️🌟 :

Decide on: Starting to update and releasing the npm package probably alongside the wikibase-release-strategy OR get rid of it / archive it OR something else?
Implement decision!

According to @Botoxparty, it’s still more or less possible to use the wikidata query UI as a library (compare T275316), so I think there would be some value in resurrecting that npm package.

However, it looks like @Jonas is currently the only person who has access to the package:

$ npm owner ls wikidata-query-gui

Alright, I think I’ve managed to build new dist files (though I now feel this was definitely more than 3 points’ worth). See T288466: [QS-GUI] Port Wikidata Query UI to a modern build system for further improvements.
