Better credit for creators
Here's something I've been thinking about for about a year. When someone uses a creation from the dreamaverse in there level, it gives the creator credit and says that a creation was used by "X". I would love if you guys took it one step further and right besides his name "x" you guys show the specific creation(s) used. This would not only show exactly what he deserves credit for, but would also make it alot easier when say I want to find a specific creation used in a community level. I cant count how many times I played a level with such a good song I've heard elsewhere, and then want to use it for my self, but cant find the person who made it. Simply because there's 50 people in the credit list and it would be unrealistic going through each person's account to find that song. (I've tried with no success) Putting the creation right besides "x" name would also help distinguish, what the creator of the level actually built himself and what he took from the dreamaverse. Giving everyone the right amount of credit they deserve. I want this because say a creator builds 99 percent of the level but the 1 song he used give 5 to 10 people. All of a sudden his work doesnt seem so legit cause it seems like he used creations from 10 other people. When in reality it was 1 song from 1 guy who used music tools from 9 other people.
Heres my solution. Change the credits layout. Make it so that theirs only a 1 single file line of users in the credit. you would have to scroll up or down to see all the users. Once you hover over a specific user like user "x" you would then see the creations you used by that user to the right of his name. This would create a new single file line showing all the creation used by user "x".
If you want to take it a step further. you could make it so that you can press right on one of "x" creations and have it branch off to the next single file line. This line would show all the users who deserve credit for users "x" creation.
This would show that you used 1 creation from "x" and "x" used 9 creation from 9 different people.
I like to think of this system like a family tree, but instead I call it a credits tree. It continues braching off till you reach a creation that has not used anything from other people.
Now when you use 1 specific song by 1 creator it visually looks like you used 1 song by that 1 creator
It would no longer look like youve used random elements from 10 diffrent users

I don’t see how this idea is any different than going through the genealogy. Also it’s an odd sentiment that a creation is less “legit” when it contains creations from the Dreamiverse.

I'm guessing OP may be unaware of the genealogy view.
bossman3009 For reference: scroll to the right on any creation's cover page to see more info about it. Click on genealogy to see the full genealogy, what the creation contains, etc. This feature has been there from beta.

If a creator releases a Dream which contains a Scene that’s Unlisted, doesn’t the unlisted status prevent players from seeing its genealogy?

Far from suitable: It makes it less legit because it's not original content. When I tell some one look at this game I made and see 100 other people creations are used in my level it doesnt seem all that amazing anymore. Now it seems like I merged everyone else's talent and called it mine.

Tap giles: I see what you mean with the genealogy. I just checked it out and was excited when I figured it out.
BUT... this still doesn't solve the problem of 50 people getting credit for 1 song that I used. I would like dreams to specify that I took 1 song from 1 guy and that guy used creations from 50 other people. Rather than me having 50 random people on my credits page, and making my creation look like I took random creations from 50 people, and built my level with it. It just seems like fake talent, especially when your trying to show of your creation to people for some hype. It just ruins the "I build the level" credit.

It seems to me you have missed the fundamental point of Dreams.
