The <CREDITS> tag is used to credit a Researcher's contribution to an Edited Entry in the Article Data box without having to make the Researcher a joint author of the Entry.

The <CREDITS> section places a link to the Researcher's personal space in the Article Data box, after the Description of the credit.

Syntax and Usage

<CREDITS TITLE="Description of credit:">

<LINK DNAID="Unumber">User Name</LINK>

</CREDITS>

• The <CREDITS> tag should be positioned after the </BODY> tag but before the </GUIDE> tag.

• The description of the credit should be something like "Image by:" or "Additional Research by:". It should end with a colon.

• The Unumber is the Researcher number of the Researcher to be credited.

• The user name should be a simple name by which the Researcher is generally known. For example, Prof Animal Chaos rather than "Prof Animal Chaos.C.E.O.er C.E.Idiot of H2G2 Fools Guild.A recipient of S.F.L and S.S.J.A.D.D..then again S.N.A.F.U.".

• Additional Researchers can be included in the credit by adding links to their usernames before the </CREDITS> tag.

• If you want to credit the Researcher, or a different Researcher, with something else as well, you will have to use a second <CREDITS> section.

• The credit will only be displayed on Edited Entries, not on unedited ones.
