Heh, ok, so people who are looking to follow the link to another article click and get the wrong behaviour. People actually looking for the image info don't think of clicking. Everyone loses!
Would it be possible, on each and every page, to have a "Image credits" link which would provide links to the attribution page of every image used on that page, no matter how it was used? Then professionals would know to always click on that same "Image credits" link placed in the bottom corner, for example.
I've been following this thread with some interest, both as a photographer (who has actually contributed original work to WP) and as a usability guy, who understands that icons should behave the way icons *behave*...
and I like Steve's suggestion here a *lot*; I think it's probably the best balance between people getting credit for their work, and websites working as websites are -- these days -- expected to work.
I've unthreaded this, so this proposal doesn't get lost in the noise.
Comments, all?
