I want to alert other editors to this, since I consider it a very undesirable development that authors clutter their CV rule-description articles with unrelated self-promotion. If it was up to me, it would be disallowed, and editors would actively moderate against it.

CVs do not become related merely because they have the same author, so publishing extensive lists of other CVs is unrelated info, which does not belong in the article. It is also a huge duplication of information.

It is common knowledge that authors usually invented more than one CV. If anyone is interested in other CVs by that author, he can click on the author name to get an overview of his other work. No reason to put that same information in many other places, to force it down the readers throat.

If an author has many presets that are not in the index, he can make a seperate article with an overview of that, similar to my overview of variants playable with the Interactive Diagram. But that would only be useful if the references were clickable links to those presets.
