@package & @subpackage: how to use with child themes

Rule of thumb: is your code bundled (i.e. packaged) with whatever code indicated by @package? If no, then you are using an incorrect value for @package.

For the case of most Themes, this is easy:

  • Core-bundled Themes use @package: WordPress and @subpackage Theme-Name, because they are packaged and distributed with WordPress itself
  • All other Themes use @package: Theme-Name, because they are packaged and distributed separately from WordPress.

All Themes are an abstraction layer of WordPress itself, and rely on WordPress in order to be output. But that dependency doesn’t make them a @subpackage of WordPress.

I would apply this rule to Child Themes as well. They are a stand-alone package, packaged and distributed separately from the Parent/Template Theme on which they rely.
