Remove author from listing page

Description

For some reason, I have suddenly the name of the author displayed on my listing page. Any idea how to remove it?

Below the content of my index.qmd

---
listing:
  type: grid
  grid-columns: 4
  grid-item-border: true
  contents: posts
  sort: "date desc"
  categories: false
  sort-ui: false
  filter-ui: false
  # fields: [image, date, title, description, categories]
  fields: [title, description, date, categories]
  feed:
    type: full
    title: "werk.statt.codes feed"
    categories: [r]
    description: "RSS feed to relevant posts"
    items: 2
  image-height: 150px
  page-size: 20
  image-align: right
  date-format: D MMM YYYY
  
page-layout: full

Did you set the authors in _quarto.yml and in _metadata.yml?

Could you provide more than just the listing configuration and also the output of quarto check?

_quarto.yml was the culprit. Many thanks for the hint!

The reason was the metadata merging, see https://quarto.org/docs/projects/quarto-projects.html#metadata-merging.
