Pilot to allow Citizens to take credit for pages

Summary: By popular demand, we would, to a limited extent, allow Citizens to take authorship credit of articles. This would (for now) take the form of a template placed at the bottom of the page, which would, in small and unobtrusive print, list the contributors to an article in alphabetical order. Contributors would add themselves. To avoid issues about what counts as an "important" edit, a person could take co-authorship credit for adding at least two sentences, and five people who have to be on the list before any names were displayed. We would try this out in just four workgroups (the template would be removed from articles in any other workgroup).
