First credit that appears is 
"Written By" Steven Moffat

The next Credit is
"Co-Created With" Mark Gatiss

would both persons get a "Created By" credit? or because of the "Co" it gets ignored and only the "Writer" gets credited

Nothing here indicates the Writer "created" anything.

And i wouldn't credit Co- anything.

in the second episode both of them get a "Created By" credit because the writer is neither of them
Quote:
Mark Gatiss...Created By
Steven Moffat...Created By
Steve Thompson...Writer

in the 3rd episode the credits are reversed from the first episode

"Written By" Mark Gatiss

"Co-Created With" Steven Moffat

So in the second episode everyone gets a credit.  And in the third, just Gatiss.

I would credit them both as "Created by" because they are clearly credited as creators.  "Co-" is not disallowed in the writing section.

I agree with Scott.  The actual credit, though split over two screens, is "Written By Steven Moffat Co-Created With Mark Gatiss."  That tells me that it was written by Steven Moffat and he co-created it with Mark Gatiss.

The documentaries about the show also tell you that they both created the series together. So I think a little common sense is needed here and they can both be credited as 'Created by'.

Ironically, this reminds me of the John and Jane Doe playing Bill and Sue type credits we were discussing in another thread and whether they were to get seperate credits or the silly credited as nonsense to recreate the shorthand produced on the screen.

On topic though, I agree that both created and should be listed as such on all the episodes.

Agree both should get creator credit. That's clearly what the credits are saying.

Sadly the "Do not enter Co-Anything"  got removed from the rules (or probably was never there and I just thought it was) and only remained in the sound-section of the crew-chart.

So I guess it's OK to enter this, but I wouldn't do it.
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?
