Author is shown in Revisions table when "Display author and date information" is off

If the "View content revisions" permission is enabled, there is currently no means by which to hide the author information. You always get something like "Thu, 2012-01-19 13:53 by firstname.lastname".

If a particular content type has "Display author and date information" turned off (in the content type configuration's Display settings), the author information should not show in this table, only the date. (The dates have to be shown as these are the table IDs for each revision.) So the table display should respect that setting by only showing ""Thu, 2012-01-19 13:53". It currently does not.

There is a movement to split this configuration setting into two. It would make this situation clearer. See the following for details:

Thank you for sharing your idea for improving Drupal.

We are working to decide if this proposal meets the Criteria for evaluating proposed changes. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or there is no community support. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

Thanks!
