Template:Citation Style documentation/display: Difference between revisions

* '''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 in''n'' em spaces wide; set '''author-mask''' to a text value to display the text without a wordtrailing author insteadseparator; for example, "with". You must still include the values for all authors for metadata purposes. Primarily intended for use in bibliographies forwith somebibliography styles where multiple works by a single author are listed sequentially. Do not use in a list generated by {{tltlx|reflist}}, {{tag|references|s}} or similar as there is no control as toof the order thatin which references willare displaydisplayed.

* '''author-name-separator''': Changes the separator between last and first names; defaults to a comma and space (, ); 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 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.

* '''display-authorsdisplayauthors''': 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|display-authorsdisplayauthors|2}} for only two authors. The "et al." may be suppressed altogether by setting {{para|displaydisplayauthors|9}}. For the Lua-based CS1 citations: The 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, because old-style citations were limited to nine authors. When there are exactly nine authors, Lua-based citations mimic the old-style citations; suppress the automatic "et al." by setting {{para|displayauthors|9}}.

* '''lastauthoramp''': When set to any value, changes the separator to use between the last two names inof liststhe ofauthor authorslist to anspace ampersand (&); defaults to a semicolon and space (; & ), else '''author-separator''' if set.

* '''postscript''': The closing punctuation for the citation; defaults to {{#if: {{{cs2|}}}|defaults to none|defaults to 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 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 athe perioddefault.
