nice - it is simply unworkable for Wikipedia. What is public credit?
What is good work? Who gets credit, in which order? Can you change the
credits over time? Who decides?
Easier: add a "show credits" link to pages that transcludes a list of
all contributors to text and images. Possibly images could then do
with a "creator/photographer" field so that's listed rather than the
uploader.
