This Toolforge instance of Scholia currently only has access to part of the data.
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 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.
