Hi Team! I've just fixed a missing link for Queries page on the Wikidata Query Help Portal page <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:SPARQL_query_service/Wikidata_Query_Help> (under the green *More experienced*). That Queries page <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:SPARQL_query_service/queries> is part of the Help Portal, but was not mentioned or linked on it!
The problem was that when users use the dropdown HELP button on SPARQL query service editor they would land on that Wikidata Query Help Portal page <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:SPARQL_query_service/Wikidata_Query_Help> , but the advanced concepts were discussed in subpages, not in the User Manual <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikidata_Query_Service/User_Manual>, or Example queries <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:SPARQL_query_service/queries/examples>, etc. The missing Queries page <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:SPARQL_query_service/queries> is extremely important in explaining advanced concepts around optionality, working with dates, coordinates, qualifiers, references, etc. And before this improvement that page could only be found if searched for, or a user happened to click the breadcrumb link at top to get back to the Wikidata:SPARQL query service page <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:SPARQL_query_service> and then would be found as a link under the Learning SPARQL / Help Portal section. This fix should make it MUCH easier for folks to discover how to work with these advanced concepts in Wikidata SPARQL query service whenever they click the HELP button in the SPARQL editor !
