Hi theme reviewers. :)<br>
<div class="im"><br>

<br>
</div>I think we can remove that item. It doesn't make sense in that context.<br>
<div class="im"><br>
> 3) Widgets: Does the theme require custom widgets?<br>
</div><div class="im">> 4) Widgets: Are standard widgets setup? Should they be?<br>
</div><div class="im">> 5) Widgets: Do any standard widgets need to be overridden?<br>
<br>
</div>I've edited the entire Widgets section to reflect Ian's clarification and to remove confusion.<br>
<div class="im"><br>

<br>
<br>
</div>You're testing display (visual appearance) as well as code quality: formatting, escaping, HTML validation. Duplication of functionality isn't ideal, but I wouldn't worry about it unless it's buggy. As Joseph said, unless a theme author has a really good reason to override a default WordPress widget, they shouldn't.<br>
<br>
In brief: all widgets, both default core WordPress widgets and custom widgets added by the theme should be tested in all widgetized areas.<br>
<br>
> Possibly/probably more later.<br>
<br>
<br>
Keep sending more feedback or edit the Codex page yourself if you see something that could be improved.<br>
<br>
Let's make this checklist be the best it can be.<br>
