:: Actually I want to have my date + name in my examples (even if that's against your philosophy. Searching fro authors IS a pain in the neck (voice of experience) ). What does the indirection buy? It can't be storage space, can it? Anywhere described on RC?--[[User:Walterpachl|Walterpachl]] ([[User talk:Walterpachl|talk]]) 07:09, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
::: There is very little that is written down about the way RC and other wiki's work. It is left mainly to peoples reasonable consensus and following what works elsewhere. In this case it comes from wikipedias practice of not signing entries but signing all talk page entries. It has the effect of emphasizing that not only is the task and its entries a collaborative effort, but also encourages others to improve any code submitted. Signing code is like saying "This is mine. Do not touch". As soon as anyone were to change something then a name in comments would not match reality. Given the way that wiki's encourage improvement, using history to determine who wrote what is the most accurate way of determining something that is not often needed. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]]) 08:34, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
