This script/stylesheet is for PERSONAL use only!

You are free to install this script/stylesheet for yourself, but it is not allowed to be used wiki-wide (e.g., in MediaWiki:ImportJS, MediaWiki:Common.js, MediaWiki:Common.css, MediaWiki:Fandomdesktop.js, MediaWiki:Fandomdesktop.css, or MediaWiki:FandomMobile.css), as it would violate Fandom's Terms of Use.
(See the customization policy)

PageCreator (not to be confused with the similar MediaWiki extension) provides details regarding a page's creator and date of creation. It was initially conceived as an extension of the LastEdited script, and as such shares the same design, but it may be employed on its own.

It was designed for use on wikis dedicated to user-generated content where editing other users' pages might be prohibited. The script will provide content details on the Main, Project, MediaWiki, Template, and Category namespaces by default if no custom selection is indicated.

Installation

An avatar and timestamp may be added, namespaces customized at will, and UTC/local timezone preferences notated through the addition of a window object.
