So last night I am checking for changes on the codex as I do, to purge off spam and the like, and I see that seo-dave has added masses of links to theme compat pages for 2.8 and 2.3, so I undo them. We do that a couple of times. seo-dave drops a message on my talk page this morning asking why I am reverting the changes.

So I explain in there that I'm reverting them because it looks like spam to me.

Anyway, his views and mine clearly differ as to what constitutes spam. To me, though, the theme compatibility pages and the plugin compat pages just look like long link-lists that can be taken advantage of. I'm not convinced what their purpose is within the codex.

To me, it would seem that if there's known issues with a theme, maybe that section belongs in the codex, but what's the point in the rest? Themes that pass the criteria appear in the WordPress Theme browser, I'm not sure why there is a codex page for the themes that people are essentially making a profit off.

For now I guess I will have to leave these pages and not prune them of spam links as I would everywhere else.

Any clarification is appreciated.
