This from Mike Peel (email address removed) of WMUK.

I've just posted a few sentences on your talk page; I think that this is a great idea, and was actually something I was thinking about proposing last night. It's a really suitable place for such a link, and I really can't see any downside to doing this...

Has it been discussed before, and if so, where?

The barriers that seem to lie between the different Wikimedia projects really need to be broken down. We're all trying to do the same thing (spread knowledge freely), just in different ways; we shouldn't be standing in each other's way whilst doing so...

Thanks, Mike

Mike can probably comment on the UK's media cover of newspaper websites vanishing behind paywalls. I think my good friend "Dirty Digger" Rupert Murdoch has an awful lot to do with this.
