Line 1:
* <span id="csdoc_author" />'''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: '''last1''', '''author''', '''authors''', '''author1'''{{#if:{{{aliases|}}}|, {{{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: '''first1'''. Requires '''last'''; first name will not display if '''last''' is empty.
{{#if: {{{lua|}}}|
** OR: for multiple authors, use '''last1''', '''first1''' through '''last<var>n</var>''', '''first<var>n</var>''' where ''n'' is any consecutive number for an unlimited number of authors (each '''first<var>n</var>''' requires a corresponding '''last<var>n</var>'''). By default, if nine authors are defined, then only eight will show and "et al." will show in place of the last author. See the [[#csdoc_title|display]] parameters to change. Aliases: '''author1''' through '''author<var>n</var>'''.

** 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. See the [[#csdoc_title|display]] parameters to change. Aliases: '''author1''' through '''author9'''.}}
