Per the SMW Special Properties [1] it would be really helpful to have a Creation editor property. Similar to how Creation date and Modification date work, Creation editor would be the person that created the page, separate from the last editor. I would suggest a new _CEDT label with property like "Creator is" or "First editor is". Thanks for considering! There are a number of cases where I want to show what users have created and right now there is no easy way to do this except for doing stuff with Semantic Forms defaults and such.

As far as I remember [0] has a "CUSER: User that first created a page" option. [0] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Semantic_Extra_Special_Properties In case someone wants to add this to the core (which I'm not saying it should) then you have to appropriately extend [1],[2], and [3].

I had totally forgotten about that extension. Thanks for the reminder. I added it and set it up. As an aside, I do think the page creator one would make sense in core. But it completely makes sense for an extension like this to exist that adds non-core additional ones.
I'd suggest to seek support within the SMW mailing-l for such feature. Please re-open this ticket after a patch for BasePropertyAnnotator BasePropertyAnnotatorTest has been provided for review.
