The "uploaded by the author" was implemented for avoid other editors would link non-official reprints when the author had an official YT Channel.

Before the purge done by Damesuke-kun, the ocassional editors had the bad habit to link their own reprints (usually their fansubs) in attempt to raise their views. One of the most infamous cases were when Vkhu aka o0vocaloid0o deleted an official reprint submitted by Rgveta, in an attempt to raise the popularity of his/her YT account.

Although I'm agree the sidenote: "uploaded by the author" sounds a bit silly. I think "official" should be enough, and only in case a disambiguation may be required
