Why when you split a question and look for its history it doesn't say who created it Only who split it?

This is because WikiAnswers only tracks who creates a question, and not who originally created that wording in the history. It would be nearly impossible to have a history for every alternate wording, and who created it. Also, since it will cause performance issues, WikiAnswers only tracks who created an individual question, and not an individual alternate wording.
