            Bug ID: 72081
           Summary: Return the number of authors from multiple Information
                    templates
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: CommonsMetadata
          Assignee: [email protected]

When there are multiple {{Information}}-like templates on a file page (a
typical pairing is {{Artwork}} + {{Photograph}}), CommonsMetadata only returns
author information from one of them, which might result in misleading
attribution texts (e.g. one is PD, the other not, and CommonsMetadata returns
the first one).

As an ugly hack, return in a new field the number of authors (i.e. the number
of {{Information}}-like templates with author fields). Clients can use this
information to show some sort of warning. (Proper solution of this issue will
have to wait for [[c:Commons:Structured_data]].)
