Query parameters are great for obvious reasons. When you make [Data Explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true) queries available to less-than-technical users though, they can sometimes be confused by the name (even if it’s just a variable name with an underscore).

Can you give an alias to a query parameter so it shows up with a nicer name below the query?
