Put the crucial information right in the title, not just in the tags

| Oct 7, 2025 at 22:28 | comment | added | Dave Benson | And even though, as Isihac listeners are well aware, points mean prizes, as @PaceNielson rightly surmises, it's really not about points. In general, I'm not possessive about mathematics. But if something is going to be attributed at all, it should be attributed to the right person, at least by the idiotic robotic mechanisms of this website, historical precedents notwithstanding. | |
| Oct 7, 2025 at 21:36 | comment | added | Dave Benson | I answered the question in good faith, then the question was made wiki, and then there was a small edit to my answer by another user, which caused my answer to be attributed to him/her/them. I'd have been much less offended if no name at all were attached, than what happened to me here. I don't think I feel like answering questions at all until this is addressed. | |
| Oct 7, 2025 at 20:42 | comment | added | Robin Saunders | I agree that going by lines rather than characters is an odd choice, though edge cases where it makes a difference are probably less common on other sites which don't have frequent line breaks for equations. Either way, anyone who wants to see who contributed what can view that in a single click. | |
| Oct 7, 2025 at 19:38 | comment | added | infinitezero | Wait, it goes by line count, not by characters. That seems like an odd choice. | |
| Oct 7, 2025 at 19:36 | comment | added | infinitezero | I believe this is a bug. It says 72% of the answer is mine. In total there is 153 characters and I added at most 30. So ~1/5. | |
