== False "error": "|contributor= requires |contribution=" even though "|script-contribution=" is already present ==

There seems to be a false error where "|contributor= requires |contribution=" even though "|script-contribution=" is already present. Compare to "|title=" which is always required except when "|script-title=" is already present. There seems to be a lack of consistency as to what is required and what isn't here. Also, "|script-chapter=" can exist on its own without "|chapter=", so if "|contribution=" is supposed to be an alias to "|chapter=", as explicitly claimed by the documentation, it should be replaceable by "|script-contribution=".
