Template:Citation Style documentation/author: Difference between revisions

* '''last''': Surname of {{{author|author}}}. Do not wikilink— use '''{{{authorlink|authorlink}}}''' instead. Where the surname is usually written first (e.g. as in Chinese) or for corporate authors{{{author|author}}}s, simply use '''last''' to include the same format as the source.

** '''first''': Given or first names of {{{author|author}}}, including title(s)— e.g. ''Firstname Middlename'' or ''Firstname M.'' or ''Dr. Firstname M., Sr.''. Do not wikilink— use '''{{{authorlink|authorlink}}}''' instead.

**OR: for multiple authors{{{author|author}}}s, use '''first1''', '''last1''' through '''first9''', '''last9''' for up to nine authors{{{author|author}}}s. By default, if nine authors are defined, then only eight will show and "et al." will show in place of the last {{{author|author}}}.

:*ORAliases: for{{{aliases|'''last''', multiple'''author'''; authors'''last1''', use '''authorlink1author1''' through '''authorlink9last9''', '''author9'''.}}}
