In my version of MediaWiki, there is a user preference option labeled "Real name" which says " Real name is optional. If you choose to provide it, this will be used for giving you attribution for your work."

I would like to have this real name value appear in all attributions generated from MWLIB for image and article contributors instead of the MediaWiki username.

I am aware of the http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Realnames extension; but, I suspect that this will not change what is displayed in the contributors lists of MWLib output. Am I wrong about that?

Short of forcing all users of my wiki to use their real name as their username for proper attribution, can I get MWLib to use the real name property if set and fall back on the username if not?

Thanks,
William
