Do you plan to add this endpoint on datahub?
That would make it monitored by Sparqles and indexed by search.datao.net

Yes, this should be done. Currently tracked at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T85444

Great news!

I see that the UI uses a public (and CORS-enabled)SPARQL endpoint
available at
https://query.wikidata.org/bigdata/namespace/wdq/sparql

I don't see this SPARQL endpoint documented as such, but I hope it will
be kept publicly available.

Indeed, I should have given some more documentation -- details in this email. 
The endpoint you found is documented here:

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikidata_query_service/User_Manual

If it should ever change, I am sure WMF can set up a redirect to keep links 
working.

I also should have pointed explicitly to the list of current example queries. 
You can do some very interesting things with this data (and with SPARQL, of 
course ;-), but some may not be obvious if you are not familiar with our data:

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/Indexing/SPARQL_Query_Examples

Short guideline for getting started with simple queries:

* Use wd:Q1234 (<http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q1234>) to refer to an item ("data page") 
on Wikidata. You can find an item id, e.g., by browsing Wikipedia and clicking the link "Wikidata 
item" on the left.

* Use wdt:P1234 (<http://www.wikidata.org/prop/direct/P1234>) to refer to 
*simplified* direct versions of Wikidata properties. Property ids can be searched for 
on Wikidata, or browsed for by clicking property names on any item page.

"Simplified" means that there is a direct connection from subject to property 
value -- no references (provenance), no qualifiers (statement annotations); that the 
value is simplified (e.g. no precision information for numbers); and that only data for 
the statements of the highest rank will be included (e.g., only current population 
numbers, no historic ones).

* For how to access the full data with all details, see the example query for 
"largest cities with a female mayor" and read the documentation:

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/Indexing/RDF_Dump_Format

It also helps to look at some Wikidata pages to get an idea of what is there. 
The showcase items give a good overview:

Cheers,

Markus
