Incorrect attribution in Mediawiki Image viewer
Closed, DuplicatePublicBUG REPORT

Description

List of steps to reproduce (step by step, including full links if applicable):

What happens?:

The untemplated creator is not shown.

What should have happened instead?:
The untemplated creator should be listed. This is kind of a major bug: Image Viewer is used for getting licence information when images are reused. In the case listed, the only person with any sort of potentially valid copyright claim is me. Now, I ''would'' like attribution wherever my stuff is used, but I am happy enough releasing my work, but I still want credit, it's one of those basic moral rights things. (I live in Britain, so it's very hard for me not to, technically speaking, gain a copyright on every restoration I do. And that's ridiculous, but, y'know, I work at a very high level. It's why I have over 500 featured pictures.

This is kind of a legal liability fix here. Not everyone is as nice as me, and this isn't the first time the problem was reported.
