Just FYI - according to 
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel%40lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/AKVB363GFCHHJ5MTHGVYHYT6NLLTF5VM/,
webkitgtk and webkitgtk3 packages will be retired on February 2017.

On Fedora webkitgtk and webkitgtk3 packages will be deprecated,
webkitgtk4 is the one which will remain:
"What is the WebKit2 package in Fedora?  Is that webkitgtk4? 
Yes."

And webkitgtk2 only supports GTK3, not GTK2.
