It would be wonderful and appropriate to list contributors at the bottom of each page. Wikitravel seems to have a nice patch for this, which also lists the latest contributor; I wonder if it would be easy to backport to the trunk of mediawiki. (wondering also if Evan is reading this :)

I use my full name (rather than a net handle) on Wikipedia because it seems more proper, and also the credit clearly then goes to ME ME ME ME ME. Have they seen the history pages? It's usually clear which two or three editors are primarily responsible for an article text.
Less clear than it might be. On a minor page you have to check about 10 edits to see that there are 1 or 2 people who wrote almost everything. On pages with much traffic it's more like checking 50 to find 5 of them.
