Its a bit iffy to drop the account names for Wikia engineers who have done commits to this idiotic project. I have no clue whether its a "wizard-with-errant-spell" or "dark-warlock-evil-spell" kinda situation on their behalf, though I 100% agree that the SEOCrossLink thing is out of order and is way too blunt a method of "encouraging" cross-wiki linkage.

This scheme kinda damages Wikia's credibility as Google will identify this as an artificial link-building scheme. I would go tell them and report this...if I wasn't under the yoke of running a wikia and thus likely to take the brunt of the damage on a local/subdomain level.

Mainly because as Google knows, sites who get automated links don't deserve them.
