* '''author-mask''': Replaces the name of the first author with [[dash|em dashes]] or text. Set '''author-mask''' to a numeric value ''n'' to set the dash ''n'' em spaces wide; set '''author-mask''' to a text value to display the text without a trailing author separator; for example, "with". You must still include the values for all authors for metadata purposes. Primarily intended for use with bibliography styles where multiple works by a single author are listed sequentially. Do not use in a list generated by {{tlx|reflist}}, {{tag|references|s}} or similar as there is no control of the order in which references are displayed.
* '''author-name-separator''': Changes the separator between last and first names; defaults to a comma and space (, ); {{#if: {{{lua|}}}|if the parameter is present, but blank, separator punctuation is set to the default|if the parameter is present, but blank, no separator punctuation will be used}}; a space must be encoded as   do not use an asterisk (*), colon (:) or hash (#) as they will be interpreted as wikimarkup. In Lua-based CS1 citations, when the parameter is present but blank, separator punctuation is set to the default.
* '''author-separator''': Changes the separator between authors; defaults to a semicolon and space (; ); {{#if: {{{lua|}}}|if the parameter is present, but blank, separator punctuation is set to the default|if the parameter is present, but blank, no separator punctuation will be used}}; a space must be encoded as   do not use an asterisk (*), colon (:) or hash (#) as they will be interpreted as wikimarkup. In Lua-based CS1 citations, when the parameter is present but blank, separator punctuation is set to the default.
* '''displayauthors''': {{#if: {{{lua|}}}|By default, the number ofall authors displayedare isshown limitedunless to 8; if 9there are providednine, then the ninthauthor list is displayedtruncated asto "eteight al."and Thisfollowed parameter allows display of fewer authors before theby "et al."; forThis example,mimics usethe {{para|displayauthors|2}}older forversion onlyof twothe authors.template Thefor "et alcompatability." mayTo be suppressed altogether by setting {{para|displayauthors|9}}. Forchange the Lua-based CS1 citations: Thedisplayed number of authors is not restricted. The Lua-based citation engine cannot know if editors created citations with exactly nine authors because there were only nine authors or, becauseset old-style'''displayauthors''' citationsto werethe limiteddesired to nine authorsnumber. WhenWhere there are exactly nine authors, Lua-based citations mimic the old-style citations; suppress the automatic "et al." by settingset {{para|displayauthors|9}} to show all authors.
|By default, the number of authors displayed is limited to 8; if 9 are provided, the ninth is displayed as "et al." This parameter allows display of fewer authors before the "et al."; for example, use {{para|displayauthors|2}} for only two authors. The "et al." may be suppressed altogether by setting {{para|displayauthors|9}}.}}
* '''lastauthoramp''': When set to any value, changes the separator between the last two names of the author list to space ampersand space ( & ).
* '''postscript''': The closing punctuation for the citation; defaults to {{#if: {{{cs2|}}}|none|a period (.); if the parameter is present, but blank, no terminating punctuation will be used}}. Ignored if '''quote''' is defined.
* '''separator''': The punctuation used to separate lists of authors, editors, etc. Defaults to a {{#if: {{{cs2|}}}|comma (,)|period (.)}}; {{#if: {{{lua|}}}|if the parameter is present, but blank, separator punctuation is set to the default|if the parameter is present, but blank, no separator punctuation will be used}}; a space must be encoded as   do not use an asterisk (*), colon (:) or hash (#) as they will be interpreted as wikimarkup. In Lua-based CS1 citations, when the parameter is present but blank, separator punctuation is set to the default.
