Configuration[edit | edit source]

The main author (the one who created the article) and other contributors are shown at the bottom of each article. The main author appears first and is  slightly separated from other users who have contributed to the page. If a user has been deleted there is a dummy photo with a yellow question mark instead of his or her profile picture. When the mouse hoovers over the photo, the username is be shown. Clicking on the picture takes you to that authors user page.

Output[edit | edit source]

Number of authors displayed, and if authors will be displayed at all, can be configured on BlueSpice preferences page (Special:BlueSpicePreferences). In case there are more contributors to the page than the limit allows to be shown, icon representing "more" will be shown.

Displaying Authors can also be achieved for a single page by placing behaviour switch on the page.
