--- Comment #8 from Rich Farmbrough <[email protected]> ---
It has always been a community norm that one click to get to attribution is
acceptable.  In the cases where no attribution is available to the Media Viewer
this behaviour is now broken, and as the usability study shows, attribution is
hard to find for most people.

This could be easily fixed by checking if the attribution info is available
before invoking media viewer, and if not going to the old system.


If someone thinks I should open separate bugs for every project,  they need to
find a less obviously irrational objection.  Clearly breaking attribution is a
software wide issue, certainly applying to any sites that use images from
Commons.

As far as legal are concerned, I raise this is not a legal matter, but as a
matter of courtesy to donors of images.

However CCBYSA3.0 unported says
" at a minimum such credit will appear, if a credit for all contributing
authors of the Adaptation or Collection appears, then as part of these credits
and in a manner at least as prominent as the credits for the other contributing
authors."

Since the credit for text authors is one-click away (history tab) it would seem
that the credit for artists should also be one-click away, not hidden under
options that we know people cannot find.
