Wikipedia talk:Attribution does not require blame

"Blame" term

As mentioned in the Glossary section, Git's command is blame. Apache Subversion (SVN) uses blame also, while Concurrent Versions System (CVS) and Mercurial use annotate.

I am open to another term, but "blame" has widespread adoption. Flatscan (talk) 05:36, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

Also Version control#Blame, which Cryptic linked. Flatscan (talk) 05:38, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

I added two more discussions and two key dates: when WP:Copying within Wikipedia was promoted to guideline and when revision deletion was enabled for administrators. WP:CWW is relevant because there had been a lack of documentation for attribution. Flatscan (talk) 05:21, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
