Description

As part of World of Wikipedia attribution exploration (T437867), we want to encourage the access and reuse of the wiki contents such as images from Wikimedia Commons in a useful way that does not substract from the playing experience.

Currently, images include an attribution as a line of text at the bottom of the card. The font size and colors used make it hard to read.
There is a list of credits with a more detailed view of the images and their information (such as license and author), but this is only available for the cards used in the main menu of the game (not for cards in other views of the game).

This ticket proposes to explore alternatives to support image attribution while aligning with accessibility practices (font size and contrast in particular) for different views of the game. Especially in the post-play views (cards from the results and collection views).

At a minimum, we could increase the size of that small text at the very bottom of the card.

Seems a good focus for this initial ticket. Thanks, Derek
