In Wikimedia Italia it seems we have a:
https://shop.wikimedia.it/
It actually serves an abandoned WordPress:
http://web.archive.org/web/20221019090312/https://shop.wikimedia.it/
I think we should close this website.
All the incoming traffic can be preserved for historical reasons and redirected to an useful non-external page, for example this:
| Status | Subtype | Assigned | Task | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Open | None | T318116 Decommission extra services from WMIT server epsilon | |||
| Resolved | valerio.bozzolan | T272806 Redirect shop.wikimedia.it to https://wiki.wikimedia.it/wiki/Gadget (by server intreccio) |
This was a WIP, authorised by the board, to put the catalog of the gadgets online again. It can still be used, we only need to pick one item to start with. Historically the shipments have been performed by a volunteer (gvf), we can ask members if there's someone willing to do it. The first step however is just to make sure that the software is ready and manageable.
It seems nobody is interested in recovering this, looking at T323218: Redirect from shop.wikimedia.it to wikimediaitalia.hoplix.shop
Right now I see no sign that this site will come back to life, but right now it is an empty website.
At the same time, there is consensus to do NOT this redirect to "wikimediaitalia.hoplix.shop": T323218: Redirect from shop.wikimedia.it to wikimediaitalia.hoplix.shop
So as a compromise I just suggest to redirect shop.wikimedia.it to a secure non-external website. This one: https://wiki.wikimedia.it/wiki/Gadget
The DNS now points to the "deprecated" server epsilon. So I suggest to point the DNS to server intreccio and then do the redirect.
