The Media viewer fails to give credit to all people listed under author in situations where: # There is a <nowiki>{{Creator:Foo}}</nowiki> tag used for one of the authors, but # Other authors are listed below said tag. For example, [[File:Mathew_B._Brady_-_William_Sidney_Mount.jpg|50px]], if viewed in media viewer, will only credit Mathew Brady, leaving out credit to myself. Not every creator has a template, and it's not uncommon for a templated and untemplated creator to both be responsible for a work, even outside of restoration work.
This is true. I'm not sure how to best solve this, that is up to the multimedia team. I would however advise you start using a template for your own creditline, that makes it easier to retroactively make it compatible with future generations of machine readable data.
When the author field has an author template, we discard all input outside it. We could just keep it instead; I don't think that could cause problems.
That said, it won't look particularly good (something like "Mathew Brady Restoration: Adam Cuerden"). That's the limitation of how much meaning can be extracted from templates currently; Wikidata will provide nicer ways.
