Template:Citation Style documentation/author: Difference between revisions

** '''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 '''author-link''' instead. Aliases: '''first1''', '''given''', '''given1'''. Requires '''last'''; first name will not display if '''last''' is empty.

** 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>'''). See the [[#csdoc_display|display]] parameters to change how many authors are displayed. Aliases: '''surname1''', '''given1''' through '''surname<var>n</var>''', '''given<var>n</var>''', or '''author1''' through '''author<var>n</var>'''. For an individual author plus an institutional author, you can use {{para|first1|...}}{{para|last1|...}}{{para|author2|...}}.

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

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

* {{xtd|'''coauthors'''}}: (deprecated) <s>Names of coauthors. Requires '''author''', '''authors''', or '''last''n'''''</s> Include coauthors in '''author''' or '''authors''' or use separate '''author''n''''' or '''last''n'''''/'''first''n''''' to list coauthors.}}

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

** OR: for multiple translators, use '''translator-last1''', '''translator-first1''' through '''translator-last<var>n</var>''', '''translator-first<var>n</var>''' where ''n'' is any consecutive number for an unlimited number of translators (each '''translator-first<var>n</var>''' requires a corresponding '''translator-last<var>n</var>'''). Aliases: '''translator1-last''', '''translator1-first''' through '''translator<var>n</var>-last''', '''translator<var>n</var>-first''', or '''translator1''' through '''translator<var>n</var>'''.

* <span id="csdoc_others" />'''others''': To record other contributors to the work, including illustrators and translators. For the parameter value, write ''Illustrated by John Smith'' or ''Translated by John Smith''.}}

:When using {{sfnote|lc=y}} or {{paren|lc=y}} styles with templates, do not use multiple names in one field or else the anchor will not match the inline link.
