**'''authorlink''': Title of Wikipedia article about author (not the author's personal website). Article should already exist. Must not be wikilinked itself. Do not use this on its own, but along with ''author'' or ''first'' and ''last''.

*'''editor''': Name of editor/editors. Do not Wikilink any values in the editor parameter but use ''editor-link'' instead. The template automatically adds "ed." after the editor's name unless the ''chapter'' parameter is used in which case the template adds "in" before the editor's name which appears after the chapter and before the title. This implies that the author is responsible only for part of the book (including the cited chapter) and the editor responsible for the whole book. If, however, the author(s) and editor(s) are responsible for the whole book, then the ''editor'' parameter or its alternates described below should not be used if the ''chapter'' parameter is being used. Instead, the editor(s) should be included in an ''author'' parameter with possibly "(ed.)" after the surname(s). Alternatively, the ''editor'' parameter may be used if the chapter detail is included in the ''title'' parameter instead of using the ''chapter'' parameter.
