Changes/Edits records

I don't know if we have any rules for how to credit the original creator of for example city location and lore when we give older content a "facelift" with just small changes to already existing content?

It's perhaps already a rule somewhere. But if not, I suggest a note in a "footer" about "original creator" , and a note about "edited by" every time a new person makes some kind of changes, accompanied by a short line about what the changes were, for example "new graphics theme".

Absolutely we should be doing this. Especially the "Original creator" - I'm not so sure about "changelogs" - but certainly yes that should be happening. If any player or staff member sees it somewhere where someone has, by oversight, forgotten to credit the original author, please please either PM the staff member directly or let me know, and I'll make sure to sort it. Thanks for raising that, Yrmellyn - that's really important!
