Story credits (preferred version?)
I have been considering if the way we present the credits ought to be changed and would like your input. Do you prefer the current version or one of the alternatives or maybe a third way. The "s" on multiple creators would naturally be omitted if there is only one creator and it will be possible to list pages or something else in parentheses after each creator name like seen on artists and pencillers if needed no matter which version is selected.
If the second or third alternative is preferred should it be with "," or "and" in between all creator names in that category. If a story has five pencillers it will have all five separated by either "," or "and". Having a mix will demand too much coding.

Comments
- Tenz, Gerald and I prefer Alternative 1. Would plotter / writer be separated like it is now? I understand it to be writer is the whole magilla UNLESS there's a separate plotter and the writer is doing the dialogue. -- DRMOUSE2814 (talk) 14:02, 15 August 2015 (EST)
- Yes, plotter will still only be used if there is a seperate plotter or if the writer is doing the plotting and has a co-plotter. Otherwise just writer is used.--Tenzel Kim (talk) 11:39, 15 August 2015 (PDT)
