(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.
