Enable the use of Listeria on wikibase.cloud (or some other way to render page lists)
Open, MediumPublicFeature

Description

Feature summary (what you would like to be able to do and where):

Display Wikibase list on a page based on a SPARQL query without need of re-running it everytime.

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):

On a Wikibase I manage, I have the need of displaying all entities of a type in a list format.
While I can point users to a SPARQL query, this takes them outside the main website and takes >10s to load, providing a bad user experience.

Listeria (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Listeria#) is a tool to do that on Wikidata with a list syntax (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Template:Wikidata_list).

It requires a bot running on the backend, what might be complicated, but the tools on itself is very useful.

Other automated list generation tools could be equally useful.

Benefits (why should this be implemented?):

Ability to display lists on Wikibases, improves user experience, adds a feature to Wikibase.cloud that is routinely used by Wikidata editors.
