All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXXIII

[Labster]

This looks incredible - Amazing work!

Would it be acceptable to link to storefront pages through this? I frequently link to digital distribution for video games on work pages, and this seems ideal to standardize it.

Also looking forward to nowp, especially for pages that don’t have a page to link to, but do automatically link to a valid unrelated Wikipedia page.

Thank you again for doing this!

For nowp, it already exists, just only works on one page now.  You can start adding it on main pages for works.

I'm honestly not sure either way on storefront links.  From a Miraheze standpoint, we don't want wikis to do advertising, and wikipedia manages to avoid doing it.  But our purposes are different.  We want people to interact with a corpus, not just be a quick summary.

I think it might take an actual policy, because I see some different cases.  Webcomics: one source, it's easy.  Games: sold on Steam, maybe itch.io and GoG, rarely Epic (that's 4 stores).  Books: freely available, or sold at 10k outlets worldwide and how do we choose? openlibrary.org is obvious, but do we also help amazon hoard more money?  TV: a solved problem, we can link to justwatch.com.  Movies: justwatch.com, plus theaters but we probably don't want to update new releases.
