[Replace/Prefill] Examples in the QueryService
Open, HighPublicFeature

Description

When using the QueryService, in the UI the user is supported with "Examples" in the top. This serves to help people trying to get information out of Wikibase to understand how querying works and how to structure their own queries. In Wikibase Cloud, these examples are by default empty. Administrators can add these Examples themselves, but this requires them to be familiar with Wikibase or somewhat versed to understand how to do this. In Wikidata, these examples are provided by WMDE.

We want to support first time users with understanding how to query, with one of the following options:

  • Pre-filling the examples with defaults queries like Wikidata has
  • Replacing the examples button with a link to documentation
  • Replacing the examples button with a link to the Wikidata QueryService
