All WDFIST queries fail with strange "query_failed" error since several days

[Geert Van Pamel]

Popup error message:
<span style='font-size:7pt;color:red'>query_failed</span>

• Any query is running fine in Wikidata Query delivering a nice list of Qnumbers, but then fails when executed in WDFIST with a popup error...
• Same error with a Wikipedia Category
• Same error with only one single Q-number
  Impact: Tool is not available

Notes: All queries fail with the same error
