Link to Cafepress banned
[edit]I got a blacklist-message when I tried to insert the links to the Wikipedia page at Cafepress found at Meta:Wikimedia merchandise. Couldn't this page justify being an exception? After all, it is our project that profits from it. Mikael Häggström (talk) 17:49, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
- I've requested at MediaWiki talk:Spam-whitelist#Cafepress.com. Hopefully correctly phrased and placed :) -- Quiddity (talk) 19:54, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
- Seems very all right. It should be possible to temporarily lift the blacklisting for just this one. Anyhow, thanks! Mikael Häggström (talk) 04:41, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
- It's still banned to have correct link and current link is to some crappy old page. I had to search to find the correct one. It's banned on the talk page too. HOWEVER, I see Wikipedia is about to do it's own store, so hopefully the link to that will work!! CarolMooreDC (talk) 16:29, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
- Good news!
I'm looking forward to see that store. Mikael Häggström (talk) 17:44, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Posters
[edit]The French Wikipedia links to a site to purchase posters, from each image page. Here's a link to the archived Signpost story about it: Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2009-01-03/News and notes#French Wikipedia uses image pages to sell posters. Just for future reference, in case anyone else was looking for it :) -- Quiddity (talk) 21:47, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
- Interesting idea. As CafePress with posters as well. I didn't find the link on that image page however - perhaps I didn't look close enough, or have it perhaps been abandoned? Mikael Häggström (talk) 05:12, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
- Still there: [1] just above the top-right of the image, "Obtenir un poster de cette image". I haven't checked around the seller's site though, and the one page I went to had what looked like a database error message... *shrugs* -- Quiddity (talk) 05:53, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
- Found it! =-) Mikael Häggström (talk) 10:15, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, a WP poster is a great idea. Even though I spend more time contributing to WP than doing anything else (including talking with my wife), I'm always worried I'll forget to do it. A poster would be a good reminder… Maybe a Wiki-tized version of the Uncle Sam poster, where a serious-looking WP-globe-headed figure points a finger at me and says, "I want YOU to edit WP". – AndyFielding (talk) 09:46, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
Merchandise suggestions
[edit]A Wikipedia ball (possibly one of those which have flashing lights when you bounce them).
Versions of the '15 puzzle' (where tiles are slid around in a tray) and/or Rubik's Cube using the letters on the WP globe. The advantage is 'every single arrangement is correct.' Jackiespeel (talk) 15:21, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
- I want a t-shirt that says, "I edit Wikipedia—but I have a life, too, really". – AndyFielding (talk) 09:39, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
