Could we set it up so that the uploader could set their preferred "Attribute me as..." text, if they want something different from the default? And make the facilities for generating it automatically more prominent?
That would both help good faith uploaders to get better compliance without a lot of hassle, and hinder bad faith ones from setting traps. I see that as good for everyone.

Well, that would technically violate the terms as stated in the template. The result of those buttons would be: "By Taxiarchos228 (Own work) [FAL], via Wikimedia Commons"
According to the detailed description it has to be (I think): "By Wladyslaw Sojka, www.sojka.photo" (from the description it's not even 100% clear to me whether the license has to be mentioned).
I'm not sure whether this kind of 'trapping' is part of the bad practices, but given the stories I read so far, I wouldn't be surprised.
