I have knocked up a quick fix for Faebot to check all GWT uploads, see if they have a non-existent {{creator}} links and replace it.
Example: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Double_Page_Plate_No._1...
I'll get Faebot to run through the entire set in a bit. I'll not run this automatically, so drop a note on my talk page if you need it to re-run due to a new GWT upload. Once the bug is fixed this should be irrelevant.

This is a bug that has been a problem on my NYPL uploads (which I have yet to fix). What *probably* should be happening, is that the <author> field should be checked for a possible match to a {{creator}} template, and the template *then* used. Unfortunately it seems to use it for everything instead.
No quick fix, this needs to be reported as a bug and fixed for everyone. If when you have completed your uploads you leave me a prompt on my Commons talk page with a link to your parent category for uploads, I can let Faebot do the tidy-up as a housekeeping job (or you could use a tool like VisualFileChange to fix them); I'd probably get around to it within a day of your request.
