Template:Citation Style documentation/author: Difference between revisions

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

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

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

:* '''{{{authorlink_n|authorlink}}}''': Title of existing Wikipedia article about the {{{author_n|author}}}— not the {{{author_n|author}}}'s website; do not wikilink.

:*OR: for multiple {{{author_n|author}}}s, use '''{{{authorlink_n|authorlink}}}1''' through '''{{{authorlink_n|authorlink}}}9'''.
