- author-mask: Replaces the name of the first author with 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 bibliographies or bibliography styles where multiple works by a single author are listed sequentially such as Shortened footnotes. Do not use in a list generated by
{{reflist}}
, <references />
or similar as there is no control of the order in which references are displayed.
- author-name-separator: Controls 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.
- author-separator: Controls 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.
- display-authors: Controls the number of author names that are displayed when a citation is published. To control the displayed number of author names, set display-authors to the desired number. For example,
|display-authors=2
will display only the first two authors in a citation. By default, the only the first eight cited authors are displayed; subsequent authors beyond eight are represented in the published citation by "et al." If a citation contains nine author names and one wishes all nine author names to display, "et al." may be suppressed by setting |display-authors=9
. Aliases: displayauthors.
- lastauthoramp: Switches the separator between the last two names of the author list to space ampersand space (
&
) when set to any value. Example: |lastauthoramp=yes
- postscript: Controls the closing punctuation for a citation; defaults to a period (
.
); if the parameter is present, but blank, no terminating punctuation will be used. Ignored if quote is defined.
- separator: Controls the punctuation used to separate lists of authors, editors, etc. Defaults to a 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.
