Wikidata Query Service is central to collaborating on Wikidata and the other Wikimedia projects. It is a tool that helps editors in their day-to-day work on Wikidata but is also used to for example generate worklists for Wiki Projects like Women in Red. That makes the Wikidata Query Service an often invisible but crucial piece of infrastructure for the movement.
