No. If someone thinks it's worthy of note, use a tag. Also heavily biases content towards externally authored, "pedigreed" posts - between a self post, a blog post, a scholarly article, a video, a picture or a newspaper column, only three of those six have "authors" and only one of those six benefits from the "author" tag.
Interesting point. Still, I can see videos and images having 'authors', some text posts too. I occasionally consider using the tag for the writer, but only in cases of fiction.Also heavily biases content towards externally authored, "pedigreed" posts - between a self post, a blog post, a scholarly article, a video, a picture or a newspaper column, only three of those six have "authors" and only one of those six benefits from the "author" tag.
