Hello all,

You may have noticed some changes on the Query Service
<https://query.wikidata.org> interface :) We added a toolbar so you can
access easily the main functions of your favorite SPARQL endpoint.

   - the *expand* icon allows you to switch to full-screen mode. You can
   exit this mode by pressing the "escape" key
   - the *pin* icon shows you the useful prefixes you may want to use in
   your query
   - the *folder* icon is another way to display the queries examples
   - the *previous* icon allows you to go back to the previous query you
   wrote (the content is stored in the local storage of your browser, so you
   can also find back the last query you wrote before closing the tab or
   browser)
   - the *bin* icon deletes the whole content of the editor (if you do this
   by mistake, don't panic, use the previous button to get your query back ^^)
   - the *chain* icon displays the short URL of your query
   - and last but not least, the "run" button has been replaced by a
simple *play
   button*

The rest of the interface remains the same. We're also continuing working
on the Query Helper box, on the top right of the screen, that allows
beginners to edit queries without touching the code. We will soon introduce
to you the new filter tool based on context aware suggestions.
What do you think? If you notice any bug or want to make a suggestion, feel
free to add a comment on the ticket
