Hi Jack,
I believe you get credits to show up by editing the DefaultSettings.php in the includes directory. Edit the following: *$wgMaxCredits = 0; * a *-1* shows all, a *0 *hides it, and *any other number* sets the maximum credits to show.
Some caveats: 1. This can slow down your site. 2. This uses the authors real name (if they inputed it) instead of their handle. 3. It shows up on the bottom (See the footer at http://www.appropedia.org/for an example). ---- I think that you could edit the skin to have that part of the footer show up as a infobox on the side.
Good luck, I would love to hear how it goes, Lonny

Hi all,
as a rewarding mechanism, i want to display the contributor names of
each article in an infobox on the right side of the article page. How can i create a template for this? May be it display the names and number of edits.
I don't understand: you mean the main contributors of each article?

Actually, I'd suggest using the Contributors extension instead of the inbuilt credits feature. (Personally, I think the Contributors Special page would probably fit nicely into MediaWiki): http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Contributors
If you really wan't to have it added to the skin, take a look at the add on which lets users hover over the link to get a js popup with the list of contributors: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ContributorsAddon
