perhaps it could be opened for storing queries longer than 2000 characters? (A 
redirection mechanism such that a visit to any page in that namespace takes you 
to query.wikidata.org might be useful, and there ought to be a system, similar 
to what is done with CSS pages, that ensures that a query is syntactically 
correct before it can be saved to that namespace.)
  
  IIRC from the very early days when we deployed the query namespace, it was 
intended for storing queries that would generate lists, like ListeriaBot 
basically but built-in to the software. But at that time the original plan was 
to build WDQS as a MediaWiki extension rather than as a separate service. 
Namespaces are relatively cheap to add, so it would be cool to see the Query 
namespace used for something like this. And if the original plan does ever pan 
out, it could be added as a "List" namespace or something.
