Medawiki API Service for WDQS
We have deployed the first iteration of Mediawiki API support for Wikidata Query Service. Please see HERE for the full documentation, below outlined are the main highlights.

The service allows to call out to some Mediawiki APIs from SPARQL in order to obtain information not contained in RDF data and WDQS database. Currently a small subset of APIs is supported, and we expect the community to nominate more services and contribute service templates to extend the API. Please see the manual for description of service templates.

Currently supported hosts:,  ,  ,  ,. If any other wikis need to be supported, please leave a comment to the developers and we will enable them.
