The article's contributors can be found by looking at the page's history. If there are multiple contributors, you can just list "the Grandmaster Wongers" as the article's contributors for an article in the Central Wongery, or "Public Wongery contributors" for an article in the Public Wongery. If your work draws on many articles, rather than credit them all individually you can use a license and attribution notice similar to the following:
