Labs, or at least Tools Labs, should be added to the CORS list. That would allow, amongst other things, for the retrieval of cached Wikidata objects, like this: https://wikidata.org/entity/Q12345.json (which redirects to https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:EntityData/Q12345.json ) Right now, any JavaScript on Labs needs to query the API via JSONP, which means Apache hit, PHP running, DB or object store access etc. This would reduce the load on the servers, and speed up the access to Wikidata objects (unless done in huge numbers). I would prefer CORS to be enabled for all of the Wikimediaverse, not just the Wikidata URL(s), for a few other tools. According to bug #60835 Labs should be added to $wgCrossSiteAJAXdomains, apparently.
