default-config.json for other servers like WikiCommons
Open, Needs TriagePublicFeature

Description

Feature summary (what you would like to be able to do and where):
Currently, the file default-config.json contains the config data to connect to the Wikidata endpoint.
What are the values for Wikimedia Commons Structured Data?

Also, I understand there is a Wikidata Test server. Could config for that service also exist?

Use case(s) (list the steps that you performed to discover that problem, and describe the actual underlying problem which you want to solve. Do not describe only a solution):
Any one who wants to use the GUI Query tool with Wikimedia Commons.

Benefits (why should this be implemented?):
Broader use of the tool, easier configuration.

Event Timeline

What are the values for Wikimedia Commons Structured Data?

You can put {"api":{"sparql":{"uri":"https://commons-query.wikimedia.org/sparql"}}} in your custom-config.json, but it won’t help you very much until T297995: Remove authentication from Wikimedia Commons Query Services (WCQS) is resolved.

Also, I understand there is a Wikidata Test server. Could config for that service also exist?

There is no query service for Test Wikidata.

@Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE, probably a silly question, but still:

Would it be complicated to implement the OAuth logging mecanism?

I think some users have experimented with that, but I don’t know if they’ve been successful. As far as I’m aware, there’s no documentation for it.
