To obtain a list of contributors for a wiki page the parser function {{#contributorlist: }} or {{#linkedcontributorlist: }} may be used. Both functions working in the same way except that the latter links to contributor’s user page. The results are alphabetical by last name[1] Here are some examples:
{{#contributorlist: }} (default: current page, all contributors separated by comma)
produces for this page: Gregor Hagedorn, Andreas Plank
{{#contributorlist: Help:SemanticMW }} with an explicit page name
produces: Lia Veja, Gisela Weber, Bernhard Zelazny
{{#contributorlist: Help:SemanticMW | 3 }} starting with the 3rd contributor
produces: Bernhard Zelazny
{{#contributorlist: Help:SemanticMW | 2 | 4 }} (2nd to 4th contributor)
produces: Gisela Weber, Bernhard Zelazny
It is also possible to use a different delimiter (for example “;” or “/”):
{{#contributorlist: Help:SemanticMW | 1 | 30 | / }} contributors 1-30 separated by a slash “/”
produces: Lia Veja / Gisela Weber / Bernhard Zelazny
Note that white space is always trimmed, so one may have to use for non-breaking space or   for normal space.
Finally we can also use line breaks in the delimiter:
{{#contributorlist: Help:SemanticMW | 1 | 30 | <br/> }}
produces: Lia Veja
Gisela Weber
Bernhard Zelazny
Linking to the contributor’s user page is possible in the same way (having the same features as above):
{{#linkedcontributorlist: Help:SemanticMW }}
produces: Lia Veja, Gisela Weber, Bernhard Zelazny
Footnotes
- ↑ “last name” for sorting purposes is difficult to unambiguously define across all cultures. Here it is defined as: the last whitespace-separated word in the first part of the string prior to any brackets or commas. Example (word recognized as last name in bold): “John M. Smith-Wesson (Ph.D.)”, “Smith-Wesson, John M.”, Roberta Morido Castellan. Note that the last example may be a case of erroneous sorting, which is difficult to automate.
