It's definitely unnecessary, superfluous, and redundant, but I don't think that automatically means it's a problem. It doesn't change the Editing Policy at all, nor does it change the official copyright status of Wikia-hosted pages, but (unless I'm misinterpreting) I don't think the template is meant to do either of those things. It seems more likely that anyone using it just wants a clear and immediate notice that they deserve intellectual/creative (albeit not outright legal) credit for the content on the page. Would I personally use the template? No, but that doesn't mean others can't. Thoughts?

Side note: If you'd like a way to know who created a page without needing to go to the edit history, check out this. It's pretty nice.
