Citing an Illustrator on a finalized SCP document

Unsure if this should go here or Writing Questions Desk

Hey! I'm currently creating an SCP article, and commissioned a friend of mine to draw an official reference for said SCP, which I'd like to put on the finalized document. Of course, I want to credit her, so would giving the name of a Foundation-universe alter-ego be sufficient? Would I also be allowed to link any social media information of hers in the discussion thread? Of course I don't want to reveal any personal information of hers, and I don't want to break any site rules. Any guidance is very much appreciated

A Foundation alter ego should be fine. The CC BY-SA license just requires that you indicate who made it for that; as long as she agreed, it’s okay.

Alternatively (and a more preferable option), you could use the username that the person goes by on the social media you wanted to link. If you still want to link it, you can create a link with the username like so:

[(link) (username)]

When put together, that link sequence looks like this:
