--- Comment #12 from Erik Moeller <[email protected]> ---
I would suggest the following changes to Media Viewer and the template:

1) In the template, emit licensetpl_attr only for the actual attribution
component (which is already a separate parameter, i.e. the combination of
"Author" and "Other"). License is already emitted in more predictable
machine-readable form by other templates, but can still be rendered in the
output for easy copy & paste.

2) If licensetpl_attr is set, prioritize it as the preferred attribution below
the image and in the "Use this file" provided attribution.

Note that this also addresses issues with attribution parameters provided by
other templates, e.g. this file:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:(Boletus_edulis).jpg

Where the licensetpl_attr metadata specifies a full author name that's not
rendered in Media Viewer.

Does that sound reasonable to folks on this bug? It would probably be worth
rethinking the attribution concepts a bit more, but that can be done as part of
the longer term structured data efforts.
