I dislike the "Photo attribution", mainly due to it being a bit irrelevant. Reader's main concern is getting information, not who wrote the article or who added an image. However, I do see what you are trying to accomplish by adding it, and I am actually happy to see Wikia is trying to make users aware that any of them could edit too. Hopefully some different solutions will come up. I suggest something under the title like a subheading that said "Article last edited by ", without the date, so that it encourages users to edit it, seeing that people with usernames are changing it, plus not knowing if the wiki is inactive or not. This will just encourage editing, and before they realize a wiki is inactive, they would have fixed up many articles already and possibly even brought more users in editing, not making them want to stop. They may even adopt the wiki. The history drop-down is less noticeable and more for admins and experienced users for glancing at who edited or to check if the page was vandalized. Thanks, I hope something like this is taken into consideration.
