Template:Citation Style documentation/author: Difference between revisions

*'''vauthors''': comma-separated list of author names in [[Vancouver style]]; enclose corporate or institutional author names in doubled parentheses:

*:{{para|vauthors|Smythe JB, ((Megabux Corp.))}}

*'''authors''': Free-form list of author names; use of this parameter is discouraged because it does not contribute to a citation's metadata; not an alias of '''last'''.}}{{#if: {{{contributor|}}}|

* '''contributor-last''': Surname of contributor. Do not wikilink—use '''contributor-link''' instead. For book cites only, requires '''contribution'''; used primarily to cite afterword, foreword, introduction, or preface to '''author'''{{'s}} work. Aliases: '''contributor-surname''', '''contributor1''', '''contributor1-last''', '''contributor-last1'''.

** OR: for multiple contributors, use '''contributor-last1''', '''contributor-first1''' through '''contributor-last<var>n</var>''', '''contributor-first<var>n</var>''' where ''n'' is any consecutive number for an unlimited number of contributors (each '''contributor-first<var>n</var>''' requires a corresponding '''contributor-last<var>n</var>'''). Aliases: '''contributor1-last''', '''contributor1-first''' through '''contributor<var>n</var>-last''', '''contributor<var>n</var>-first''', or '''contributor1''' through '''contributor<var>n</var>'''.

** '''contributor-link''': Title of existing Wikipedia article about the contributor—not the contributor's website; do not wikilink. Aliases: '''contributor-link1''', '''contributor1-link'''.

* <b id="csdoc_translator">translator-last</b>: Surname of translator. Do not wikilink—use '''translator-link''' instead. Aliases: '''translator-surname''', '''translator1''', '''translator1-last''', '''translator-last1'''.

**'''translator-first''': Given or first names of translator. Do not wikilink—use '''translator-link''' instead. Aliases: '''translator-given''', '''translator1-first''', '''translator-first1'''.
