Great! Previously, I read the SparqlExtension documentation and came to the conclusion that I would have to mirror the entire content of the endpoint in a local triple store before being able to query it in my wiki. This put me off using the SparqlExtension, because I only need a tiny fraction of the data in the endpoint (probably less than 0.1%) in my wiki. It's good to know that this is no longer required (if I understand correctly). Please do post links to the updated documentation when that is done.
