It's a problem that the English "by" has different translation depending on the semantics.

Deutsch: Je nach der Bedeutung muss "by" in von (jemandem), durch (etwas bzw. jemanden) oder nach (einem Kriterium) übersetzt werden.

"durch" (Standard)
"von" (wenn ein Benutzername folgt)
"nach" (wenn der Parameter mc= [für "Metakategorie"] gesetzt ist)
