Wikidata:Wikidata front ends
A Wikidata front end (Wikidata front end (Q51139628)) is a Wikidata presentation interface designed to assist a reader in engaging with Wikidata. In theory there could be front ends for both importing information to and exporting information from Wikidata. To date there has been more interest in developing specialized front ends to assist in presenting information from Wikidata.
The native front end for querying Wikidata is the Wikidata:Wikidata Query Service. Other front ends offer alternative query systems which may be easier to use for specialized purposes than Wikidata's native query system. The trade-off is that queries in specialized front ends may have fewer options or design features which assist with certain types of queries but are not useful for others. For example, some may assist with queries in the humanities but not work as well with science information, or vice versa.
Along with query features a front end may display query results in a nice way.

Wikidata Query Service edit
The Wikidata:Wikidata Query Service (Wikidata Query Service (Q20950365)) is the native front end for Wikidata. It accepts SPARQL queries and offers a tool which helps anyone who does not know SPARQL to generate a query. After presenting the query results in text, the Wikidata Query Service offers visualization options including image grid and various graphs.
