That's the identification of authors. So what I mean is that we could try to find a way to mention something about the authors (in a more conspicuous place than the history and without forcing the user to click a few dozen links to weed out the obvious non-authors) - either automatically generated, added by the users themselves or a form in between. -- André Engels, [email protected] _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
