Talk:Themes/Theme Compatibility/2.8

Listing Multiple Themes From One Domain

Been trying to add 2.8 compatible themes I maintain at http://www.google-adsense-templates.co.uk/ (12 themes) and twice they have been removed.

Second time an admin removed the themes and listed the home page of where I maintain the themes. And posted about this on my user page which I've responded to at http://codex.wordpress.org/User_talk:Seo-dave#Regarding_Theme_compatibility

I'm new to using the Codex this way (not big on using Wikis) so still learning, how best to contact/discuss things with others (hoping this page is a good idea).

So should themes be listed individually or by domain?

I don't think it makes sense to list themes by domain since WordPress users are looking for specific information about a theme, not about where the theme is maintained. If the admins think listing by domain is the way to go, they should edit all contributions with this in mind, there's a LOT of multiple submissions (16 themes from one domain for example) which if you remove them all will roughly half the list of themes!

Sorry, all those links seem spammy, and more than one person noticed that. Tried to accomodate both your desire to notify users of compatibility and not let Codex be a spam fest. As it stands you've got a link there. If other links in there seem spammy please feel free to consolidate them into one entry. --MichaelH (talk) 19:03, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
The other links are consolidated now, too. mrmist 20:43, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

The current consolidated listing makes sense, helps prevent link spam and allows for WordPress users to find specific themes. I've added a list of the themes I maintain in the same format. Thanks for the clarification. Seo-dave 00:51, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
