Template:Citation Style documentation/author: Difference between revisions

removed (inconsistent) repetition of parameter name in "aliases" section. It's pedagogically confusing and technically not an alias. This should be done for all sections of the cs1 documentation. Will wait a bit for comments or objections on talk page.

Line 1:
* '''last''': Surname of author. Do not wikilink—use '''authorlink''' instead. Where the surname is usually written first—as in Chinese—or for corporate authors, simply use '''last''' to include the same format as the source. Aliases: '''lastlast1''', '''author''', '''authors''', '''last1''', '''author1'''. {{{aliases|}}}
** '''first''': Given or first names of author, including title(s); for example: ''Firstname Middlename'' or ''Firstname M.'' or ''Dr. Firstname M., Sr.'' Do not wikilink—use '''authorlink''' instead. Aliases: '''first''', '''first1'''.
** OR: for multiple authors, use '''last1''', '''first1''' through '''last9''', '''first9''' for up to nine authors. By default, if nine authors are defined, then only eight will show and "et al." will show in place of the last author. Aliases: '''last1''', '''author1''' through '''last9''', '''author9'''.
:* '''authorlink''': Title of existing Wikipedia article about the author—not the author's website; do not wikilink. Aliases: '''authorlink''', '''authorlink1''', '''author-link''', '''author1-link'''.
:*OR: for multiple authors, use '''authorlink1''' through '''authorlink9'''. Aliases: '''authorlink1''', '''author1-link''' through '''authorlink9''', '''author9-link'''.{{#if: {{{coauthors|}}}|
* '''coauthors''': (deprecated) Names of of coauthors. Use the same format as the authors.}}{{#if: {{{others|}}}|
* '''others''': To record other contributors to the work, such as "Illustrated by John Smith" or "Translated by John Smith."}}
