You're correct about the lack of information being insufficient to warrant article pages. Most themes are also categories, though, which means they automatically get pages whether there's any information to put on them or not.

I, for one, really dislike empty category pages. Apparently, I'm not alone, because someone (or multiple someones) manually created infoboxes on most of those pages. A few, like Western and Black Hills, contain descriptive information--again, probably just so the page wouldn't be empty.

In addition, we recently edited the Themes page to remove dates of availability from the seasonal themes; those now reside on each theme's category page. I edited a few of the theme category pages to use the current Infobox_Shop instead of the manual infobox. See Transylvania for an example.

SUMMARY: Separate pages for themes exist, whether we want them or not. Most, if not all, of the theme pages already contain a tiny bit of content, just so they won't be empty--including an infobox. In my opinion, adding themes to the new Infobox_Item will give the theme category pages simplicity and consistency, neither of which they currently possess.

Of course, opinions differ. I apologize for my previous post, in which I became personally attached to my idea instead of remembering that ideas are things to be discussed, analyzed, and then either accepted or rejected, according to the needs of the community. If you think there's a better way to handle the theme category pages--even if it's to leave them as they are--I'll accept your judgment and move on. :-)
