Hi,

Before posting a bug for this, I thought I should pop a question to see if somebody hasn't done this already.

Some of the content partners I'm in contact with are not really happy about being attributed on the talk page and/or the history of the article. I was thinking that we could have an extension that could handle this. The solution I came up with was: * have some <attribution></attribution> tags in the article; place all the requirds attribution text between those tags in plain wikitext * when parsing these tags, don't include the result in the main article div (mw-body), but rather create a new tab below mw-body, which will contain the attributions. This new div should be visually different from the article.

I am aware this solution is prone to vandalism, but it is also a simple way to include attributions without any additional knowledge from the editors.

So, my questions are: 1. Has somebody done a similar extension before? If yes, is it stable enough to deploy on WMF wikis? 2. If not, would somebody on this list be willing to make it? I don't feel my PHP is strong enough for me to take on this, but I will help in any way I can.

Thanks, Strainu
