@lukasfx very interesing! How does this translate to the RDF/SPARQL interface?
There will be changes in the week of January 20th 2026 regarding the WDQS graph split and sunsetting of the legacy service. There is a https://qlever.scholia.wiki/ mirror running with QLever as backend with the full Wikidata content. This mirror is part of an evaluation of alternatives to Blazegraph.
we have moved closer to having the option to switch to a #QLever backend. Beta testers can assist by exploring the interim QLever-backed Scholia instance: https://qlever.scholia.wiki/
Any issues can reported here (we appreciate it!): https://github.com/ad-freiburg/scholia/issues

Hmmm... Now @wdscholia have 2M req/day from the bot https://people.compute.dtu.dk/faan/scholia-page-view-statistics.html and max ~45 req/s https://grafana.wmcloud.org/d/TJuKfnt4z/tool-dashboard?orgId=1&var-namespace=tool-scholia&var-cluster=P8433460076D33992&from=now-6h&to=now&timezone=utc

"What started out in 2016 on Twitter became a (small) award winning decade long collaborative project. Unfortunately, the future is not clear. We are at odds if it will survice the growth of Wikidata and in particularly the SPARQL graph split."
two high profile retractions this week:
- "Safety Evaluation and Risk Assessment of the Herbicide Roundup and Its Active Ingredient, Glyphosate, for Humans" https://scholia.toolforge.org/retraction/Q28138320 https://doi.org/10.1006/RTPH.1999.1371
- "The economic commitment of climate change" https://scholia.toolforge.org/retraction/Q137209863 https://doi.org/10.1038/S41586-024-07219-0
RE: https://wikis.world/@wikidata/115575740817656007
we have an /aspect/ for that, e.g. for DBpedia here: https://scholia.toolforge.org/dataset/Q465
it takes quite a bit of effort to update all the SPARQL queries (we have more than 300) to accommodate for the RDF graph split of @wikidata

@stuartyeates @librerli can you please file that as bug report (if you did not already did so)?
@ainali, thanks for the Scholia shout out in the live stream!
(oh, and plz let us know if we should have a /politician/ aspect and if so, what panels you would except on it)

Interestingly, this forward local clustering coefficient computation on the #Wikidata citation graph is slow on QLever: https://qlever.cs.uni-freiburg.de/wikidata/3t6USb (timeout) but works fast on WDQS https://query-legacy-full.wikidata.org

@egonw @wikidata @wdscholia Cut y-axis labels and incorrectly color inverted author images – are these two bugs already tracked?
