Updates to Plot Outlines
On Oct 25, 2021, we discontinued displaying the "By: line" for Plot Outlines. As a result we are no longer accepting the contribution of the "By:" line and this has been removed from the contribution flow.
This change is based on the fact that outlines are rarely attributed to one single person, and are typically a collaboration derived from industry provided language. By-lines will continue to be supported for Plot Summaries and Synopsis as there can be multiple entries which are personalized by contributors.
Thanks as always for all your feedback – please feel free to post your questions and comments to this thread.

What this means, exactly? ”Rarely” is quite an exaggeration.
And does this decision mean that people can now ”edit” the existing Plot Outlines just like that (perhaps, since they don’t have to respect the original ”By:” line of the Outline)? IMO, Plot Outline is very important. It’s the first thing that many people will read.
