--- Comment #3 from Mark Holmquist <mtrac...@member.fsf.org> 2012-05-31 21:59:11 UTC --- Chris, that's pretty complicated, but the current implementation still seems like the best one, to me. For the following examples, the username is "Newbie", the real name is "New Person". Option 1: Enter your username, there will be a link to your user page like so: |author=[[User:Newbie|Newbie]] Option 2: Enter your real name, there will be a link to your user page like so: |author=[[User:Newbie|New Person]] The only other option is to actually show _both_ your real name _and_ your username, but that's largely the same as option 2, except that your username wouldn't be visible without viewing the URL.... Plus, these options help us avoid the complication of creating new fields for people to fill out. Really, the only thing we're after is a concrete statement of release for copyright purposes, so this should do just fine. Further attribution details could just as easily go into the description in the details page, which _is_ equipped to deal with WikiText, or into the file page after the upload process is completed. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
