Forum:Suggestion: Removing the "added by" - line on thumbnails

Good day! The topic says it all, I think we should get rid of the "added by" line below thumbnails. 17:26, May 11, 2011 (UTC)

Arguments for keeping credits
No clue, really.

Arguments against credits

 * 1) Minihollow6.jpg credits do not support the content described. In fact, they distract from it.
 * 2) The editor likely didn't "create" the images, so authorship is no reason to keep it.
 * 3) It makes the act of uploading images the most recognizable contribution. Where are the credits for writing page long articles or summaries? Where are the credits for removing vandalism and maintaining what we have? [insert thing you usually do on this wikia] - where is the credit? I'm fairly sure the regular editors give a crap about being acknowledged or not, but it's about equality.
 * 4) The reason for the implementation was to encourage people to contribute images, especially on less popular wikias. So, do we really need to motivate people to upload pictures? The opposite is the case, I think we decided to slow down on uploads for various reasons.
 * 5) Images should never be contributed "to leave your personal stamp", but this is often the case (especially with new editors)

=How to do it= The execution is fairly simple, I asked an admin of another wikia:

"Getting rid of the "added by..." piece is easy. Just add the code below to the MediaWiki:Wikia.css page and it should no longer display on images. "

/* Hides image attribution on articles */

.picture-attribution { display:none !important; }

(And yes, people will still be able to tell who contributed the picture, just like with any other non-thumbnail.)

=Discussion= Agree, agree, agree, agree (though that personally doesn't bother me since I use the Monobook style). sff9 (talk) 17:02, May 11, 2011 (UTC)

I see no line unless you're talking about the caption. SeaTerror 17:17, May 11, 2011 (UTC)

What Sff9 said, it is only visible for people that use the wikia design instead of monobook, here is a screenshot:
