I'd like to let us add and other contributor(s) by putting "Other" either at the front of the list or the end of the list of names. But actually engineering this is a pain--anybody like to give it a shot? --Larry Sanger 11:31, 29 February 2008 (CST)
- I'll do it, but not tonight. It's not too hard, actually, if you let it be only the first argument that can be "Other". (The first argument tests for being equal to "Other"; if so, evaluate to "", otherwise evaluate as now. Then at the end add another test of the first argument; if equal to "Other", evaluate to "and other contributors", otherwise "".) Letting it be anywhere else makes it much more complicated to implement, because the "Other" can be anywhere. I'd get rid of the () because if it's just one, you can stick them instead of the "Other" argument. J. Noel Chiappa 21:37, 9 March 2008 (CDT)
