Yes, the Wiki Services idea, but I was there when the shops were and they didn't suck away mainspace editing. Seriously, all they did was help people get stuff they wanted. It was almost all wiki services, just a few sold stuff like penguins with cool names or whatever. But seriously, if it's junk no-one will buy it. No-one will stop editing so they can save up for an expensive product, they will just make do. The only chance junk will get sold will be if it's ridiculously cheap, and no-one would want to sell something that cheap. Anyway, stuff that one person considers unrelated could turn out to be immensly useful, like customised images for articles and so on.
