* '''last''': Surname of author. Do not wikilink—use '''authorlink''' instead. Where the surname is usually written first—as in Chinese—or for corporate authors, simply use '''last''' to include the same format as the source. Aliases: '''last''', '''author''', '''authors''', '''last1''', '''author1''' {{{aliases|}}}
* <b id="csdoc_author">last</b>: Surname of a single author. Do not wikilink—use '''author-link''' instead. For corporate authors or authors for whom only one name is listed by the source, use '''last''' or one of its aliases (e.g. {{para|author|Bono}}). Aliases: '''surname''', '''author''', '''last1''', '''surname1''', '''author1'''{{#if:{{{aliases|}}}|, {{{aliases}}}}}.
** '''author''': this parameter is used to hold the name of an organizational author (e.g. a committee) or the complete name (first and last) of a single person; for the latter, prefer the use of {{para|first}} and {{para|last}}. This parameter should never hold the names of more than one author. Supports [[Help:Citation_Style_1#Accept-this-as-written_markup|accept-this-as-written markup]]. Do not use italics in this field, as doing so produces corrupt metadata.
** '''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 '''authorlink''' instead.
** '''first''': Given or first names of author; for example: ''Firstname Middlename'' or ''Firstname M.'' or ''Firstname M. Sr.'' Do not wikilink—use '''author-link''' instead. Aliases: '''given''', '''first1''', '''given1'''. Requires '''last'''; first name will not display if '''last''' is empty. Use generational and {{notatypo|regnal}} suffixes only in accordance with [[MOS:JRSR]] and use honorifics (including [[Doctor (title)|Dr.]], [[Sir]], and similar) only in accordance with [[MOS:HON]].
** OR: for multiple authors, use '''first1''', '''last1''' through '''first9''', '''last9''' for up to nine authors. By default, if nine authors are defined, then only eight will show and "et al." will show in place of the last author. Aliases: '''last1''', '''author1''' through '''last9''', '''author9'''.
** 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>''', but not the other way around). {{Crossref|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|...}}.
