Details

For cases where other parties copy content from developer.mozilla.org, the licensing page now states:

   Please attribute "Mozilla Foundation" and include a hyperlink (online) or
   URL (in print) to the specific wiki page for the content being sourced.

https://developer.mozilla.org/index.php?title=Project:Copyrights&action=diff&revision=13&diff=14

I don't think that is correct. The author of the wiki pages is not Mozilla Foundation, but individual contributors. It is them who must be credited, not Mozilla Foundation, which merely provides the server and some of the contributors. A big part of the work is done by other parties, so stating that "Mozilla Foundation" is the author is not correct.
Please provide guidance on what the attribution instruction should be.
Ben is right; "Mozilla Contributors"?
