I called them "Page creator" (singular), and "Page editors" (plural) in my list
here:

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Badon/Extension:Semantic_MediaWiki/Manual#Needed_special_properties

The singular and plural difference may be enough, but I think "editors" is more
clear than "authors" since the word "authors" is usually associated with only
one or just a few people, while "editors" is understood in a wiki context to
mean unlimited numbers of people.

There is always only one creator for a wiki page, so I think it is more clear
than "first author". Since the word "author" already means "one author", it
doesn't help to clarify things by changing it to "first author".

So, in short, I think "creator" and "editors" are the right words to use. I
would not use "Article" because some wikis use mediawiki pages for something
other than an article. "Page" is sufficiently broad, but maybe it would be
better to follow the convention being used in this bug:

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32165

There, instead of using my suggested "Page creation date" and "Page
modification date", it was decided to use "_CDAT" and "_MDAT", which are the
internal SMW representations for those properties. Following that convention
may help make your code a candidate for inclusion in a future version of SMW.
