		+	The navbar and page title refer to the page as "Stores" now (even if it is still at [[HR:store\|/store]] on the site). However the wiki does not have a [[Stores]] page. I think it may be premature to move ''this'' article to "Stores", but I'm also aware that making a "Stores" redirect page might screw up a later move.

		+	== Store subpages - "clothing"/"other items" vs "Shopify"/"Teespring" ==
		+
		+	I'd like to discuss reworking the Store product subpages. Right now there are three — [[Shopify Store Clothing]], [[Shopify Store Other Items]], and [[Fangamer]] — with Teespring items included in the two Shopify pages. I think the structure should be redone to have one page for each storefront — Shopify Products, Teespring, and Fangamer.
		+	* Although Shopify previously had {{p\|l=http://hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Store&oldid=786059 dozens of shirts (as well as hoodies and Baby Stuff)}}, this has been whittled down to only '''two''' articles of clothing. "Shopify Store Clothing" seems a poor title when less than 5% of the clothes for sale are actually ''on'' Shopify. It seems pretty clear that TBC have shifted clothing production over to Teespring with Shopify being focused on media and toys.
		+	* The Teespring store is not described well on the wiki. Although we have specific dates for the opening of Shopify and Fangamer, only the year of Teespring's launch is provided. A dedicated Teespring page would allow for a better writeup.
		+	* The [[hr:store\|Store index page]] has divided the three storefronts for over a year.
		+	** Again, Fangamer already has its own page.
		+	I could see a few arguments against this, though—
		+	* Shopify and Teespring are both run and designed by TBC. Fangamer having its own page differentiates it as third-party.
		+	* Links to store items would be broken. However, looking at "what links here" there's not ''too'' many links to wrangle and product ids can be kept.
		+	I don't see these as too objectionable. Any other thoughts? --{{User:Bleu Ninja/sig}} 16:50, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
