[Wikidata-bugs] [Maniphest] [Created] T204471: WikibaseQualityConstraints include extension name in UA for query service requests

[Addshore]

Addshore created this task. Addshore added projects: Wikidata, Wikibase-Quality-Constraints. Restricted Application added a subscriber: Aklapper.

TASK DESCRIPTION

In T204267 the extension flooded the query service with requests and ended up getting all mediawiki requests banned.
In the future other less floody SPARQL requests may come from mediawiki and thus have the same UA & get banned (unless the banning is done by IP only?)
In order to avoid these blankety bans each sub product / service within mediawiki making the requests should add its own product to the UA in addition to the default mediawiki one.

TBD / TBA does the query service actually differentiate requests from a single IP with different UAs?

Current example UA:

MediaWiki/1.32.0-wmf.20

Proposed UA:

MediaWiki/1.32.0-wmf.20 WikibaseQualityConstraints

User-Agent RFC: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-5.5.3
