Description

Dedicated page on Wikidata for the Wikibase GraphQL (Wikidata:Wikibase GraphQL) with all the basic set up info and background. The page should roughly cover the following points:
- Covers the background of why this product was developed, why people should use it and refers back to the prototype page https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Wikibase_GraphQL_prototype
- Clearly states that the API is not on a stable version yet (we're collecting feedback) and still in development. More functionality will be added through this year (link the Wikibase GraphQL phab board)
- Lists the main functionalities
- Examples for the main functionalities with testing links (Try it out!) to the GraphiQL client
- How to (use and set up) the Wikibase GraphQL
- Quicksurvey integration

Add descriptions to all fields in the GraphQL schema that aren't part of the Wikidata data model (for example, first and after in pagination)
