Copying Bob Jacob’s suggestion here so that people can vote:
Right now most sequences are still displaying my name, even though I didn’t write them. The mods have thankfully already changed the name for the “moral anti-realism” sequence, but ideally the other sequences should be properly credited too. Maybe the whole sequence should just be handed over to the authors themselves, since they might not like the descriptions and images I have created (I did message them). That way they can also just add new posts to the sequence without having to contact me first.
Perhaps it would be useful to have a “Sequence author” tag or something? I have also created a few sequences I didn’t write just to reference the group of posts, but it would be good if the author was somehow credited.
I think it makes sense for the default “sequence author” to be the person who actually put the posts together; many sequences have a bunch of different authors represented, and users can see who wrote each post in a sequence as soon as they click on it.
However, in cases where one user sequences a bunch of another user’s posts, without other posts mixed in, it seems reasonable for the second user to “own” the sequence. For all sequences of that type currently on the sequence page, someone from our team will edit the author manually (looks like the functionality may not be available on my side, so I’ll talk to the devs).
I think manual edits of this type will probably suffice for now, as I don’t think anyone else is going to create two dozen sequences anytime soon. Being able to assign someone else as the “owner” of a sequence could be useful eventually, though!
