At T413097 I made a request for computing resources to support the WikiQlever transition team in keeping the Scholia / WikiCite project up.

Can there please be a decision as soon as possible, and before staff holiday breaks, which are beginning now.

thanks

Thanks, @Bluerasberry. Acknowledging the dependency on T413097 from the WDP side, as well. Unfortunately, we likely won't have the necessary inputs to prioritize that request before the end of the 2025.

@Gehel , is there flexibility on picking this request up in a sprint after the articulated date of Jan 7th? This will be helpful for us in figuring out how to stagger this work.

I assume that "this request" means T413097. In which case, this is the responsibility of the Cloud-Services team, so I can't speak for them. We can delay the decommission of the legacy WDQS endpoint if this helps.

Yes please. Given the discussions over in T413097, something like a month would seem appropriate.

We are postponing the decommissioning of the wdqs2009 endpoint.

We can't yet commit to a new implementation date, as we need to better understand the blocker presented by T413097 with @Daniel_Mietchen and the cloud services team. We will post an timeline update on this ticket, ideally by January 14th, once we reach alignment with all stakeholders.

The new date for completing this request is January 20th. @Gehel please advise if you want me to update the description to reflect.

We no longer consider the open questions on T413097 to be a blocker to decommission the legacy endpoint and are moving forward to repurpose this hardware for our ongoing migration efforts.

Mentioned in SAL (#wikimedia-operations) [2026-01-20T14:21:44Z] <gehel> switching off Blazegraph on wdqs2009 (legacy full graph endpoint is end of life) - T411410

The query-legacy-full.wikidata.org/sparql endpoint is now disabled. The UI is still exposed, we need to clean this up soon-ish.

Let's wait at least 1h before starting on the backup of the journal file.

Ack.

A backup of the Blazegraph journal file will be available through March 2026 at: https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/wdqs/

The journal is 1.3 TB uncompressed and is provided split into 100 gzip-compressed chunks. It can be rebuilt using:
