Wikidata Query Service

 * Throttling has been enabled on Wikidata Query Service. This is done to protect the service from abusive users or bots. WDQS will answer with HTTP 429 if a query is throttled, and will expose a "Retry-After" header to let you know how much you should wait before retrying a query. The goal is to protect the service, not to restrict user access, so reach out to us if you feel that you are being throttled unfairly. Read more on list.
 * Stas added a stats marker to wikidata entity search
