Dear colleagues,

Before uploading some 1550 images in 200-odd batches to
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Prints_from_the_Peace_Palace_Library
i hit on this problem:

When i input xml author metadata

    <author>Pieter Christiaansz Bor (1559-1635). Engraver:. Photography:
D-vorm, Bert en Lilian Mellink</author>

mapped to template {{Information}} GWT gives

    Author Creator:Bert en Lilian Mellink Pieter Christiaansz Bor
(1559-1635). Engraver:. Photography: D-vorm

instead of simply

Pieter Christiaansz Bor (1559-1635). Engraver:. Photography: D-vorm, Bert
en Lilian Mellink.

Examples
--------
http://commons.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/File:Bor-Nederlantsche-Oorloghen_9140.tif
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bor-Nederlantsche-Oorloghen_9140.tif

GWTset tacitly assumes Template:Creator, e.g.

{{Information
 | author = {{Creator:Bert en Lilian Mellink Pieter Christiaansz Bor
(1559-1635). Engraver:. Photography: D-vorm}}

??
Is there a workaround, my time is running out (1550 uploads to do before
June 1)??

Thanks a lot, hans muller
