{{ping|JPxG}} Regarding [[Special:Diff/1136023834|this edit]] - how about adding {{para|authortemplate}}, {{para|authorformat}} and {{para|authorseparator}} parameters to specify how to format each author in the output? That way you can do things like link each user's userpage, etc., instead of just listing the usernames separated by commas. Also, maybe we could do the same for tags with {{para|tagtemplate}}, {{para|tagformat}} and {{para|tagseparator}} parameters. — '''''[[User:Mr. Stradivarius|<span style="color: #194D00; font-family: Palatino, Times, serif">Mr.&nbsp;Stradivarius</span>]]''''' <sup>[[User talk:Mr. Stradivarius|♪&nbsp;talk&nbsp;♪]]</sup> 04:03, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
 
== Authors: names or usernames? ==
 
{{ping|JPxG}} About [[Special:Diff/1139235436]]: it looks like [[User:WegweiserBot|WegweiserBot]] is using display names for author names, but [[WP:SPT]] is using usernames. This is going to cause the two scripts to keep overriding each other, so we should choose one approach. I would prefer to include only username, as that makes it easier to do things like make user links. I can see that there would be a case for listing display names instead, though. Or if we really want, we could include both, in tables like <syntaxhighlight inline lang="lua">{user = "Bluerasberry", display = "Lane Rasberry"}<\syntaxhighlight>. What do you think would be best? — '''''[[User:Mr. Stradivarius|<span style="color: #194D00; font-family: Palatino, Times, serif">Mr.&nbsp;Stradivarius</span>]]''''' <sup>[[User talk:Mr. Stradivarius|♪&nbsp;talk&nbsp;♪]]</sup> 04:28, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
