I would add another very important aspect - query prefixes - to build some cohesion within Wikibase community.
Currently, WDQS hardcodes prefixes like "wd:" and "wdt:" to be based on the "conceptUri" parameter. Which means that any Wikibase installation that has its own data would still use well-recognized wd* style prefixes, but they would not mean the same thing as for Wikidata, causing confusion. This is especially important because in most cases, people will want to use federated queries to join data from their own Wikibase instances with the Wikidata one. My project - sophox.org (OpenStreetMap data and metadata) - has set up an additional set of prefixes that mirror the wd* ones -- osmd, osmdt, ..., but users still have to override the default wd: meaning to point back to Wikidata, otherwise they cannot meaningfully use Wikidata federation.
