Because the collaboration system uses only one creator as the "anchor," the names of the other editors are left out of favorite videos lists, top 10% lists, local download pages, and probably the upcoming VCA nominations pages. in fact, collaboration information hardly shows up anywhere outside the video information page, unless explicitly announced by the creators. I find this a bit misleading as it can sometimes prevent an editor from getting the full credit that he/she deserves.
I understand that showing all the names for every collaborative video could get quite messy, so I suggest that you add a simple "et. al" after the "anchor" creator's name. Would this be probable?
"et. al" for collaborations

Hopefully not, but I certainly wouldn't mind adding "et al.".Jasper-Isis wrote:I understand that showing all the names for every collaborative video could get quite messy, so I suggest that you add a simple "et. al" after the "anchor" creator's name. Would this be probable?

Maybe he meant it the other way:"Third this, I'm sick of explaining to people that I'm not the only person who worked on TCP just because they saw my name on the Top 10%."
