* '''last''': Surname of author. Do not wikilink— use '''authorlink''' instead.
* '''last''': Surname of author. Do not wikilink— use '''authorlink''' instead.
** '''first''': Given or first names) of author, including title(s)— e.g. ''Firstname Middlename'' or ''Firstname M.'' or ''Dr. Firstname M., Sr.''. Do not wikilink— use '''authorlink''' instead.
** '''first''': Given or first names) of author, including title(s)— e.g. ''Firstname Middlename'' or ''Firstname M.'' or ''Dr. Firstname M., Sr.''. Do not wikilink— use '''authorlink''' instead.
***The '''last''' and '''first''' parameters are not ideally suited to authors whose surname is usually written first (e.g. as in Chinese). Use '''last''' to include the same format as the source to handle these cases.
***Where the surname is usually written first (e.g. as in Chinese) or for corporate authors, simply use '''last''' to include the same format as the source.
** '''authorlink''': Title of Wikipedia article about the author— not the author's website. Article should already exist. Must not be wikilinked itself. Must be used with '''author''' or '''first''' and '''last'''.
** '''authorlink''': Title of existing Wikipedia article about the author— not the author's website. Must not be wikilinked itself. Must be used with '''author''' or '''first''' and '''last'''.
*OR: for multiple authors, use the parameters '''first1''', '''last1''' ... '''first''n'', last''n''''' to correctly record all the information about the source (the first nine authors are displayed, then "et al." is appended if even more authors were specified). Do not wikilink as there are corresponding '''authorlink1''' ... '''authorlink9''' parameters as well. This usage is preferred to the use of '''coauthors'''.
*OR: for multiple authors, use the parameters '''first1''', '''last1''' through '''first9''', '''last9''' for up to 9 authors. Do not wikilink as there are corresponding '''authorlink1''' through '''authorlink9''' parameters. By default, if nine authors are defined, then only eight will show and et al. will show in place of the last author.
*OR: '''author''': (deprecated) Full name of author, preferably surname first. Do not wikilink— use '''authorlink''' instead.
** '''coauthors''': (deprecated) Full name of additional author or authors— e.g. ''Joe Bloggs, John F. Kennedy, H. R. Dent''. Use the same name order and separators as the author fields.
|editor=
|editor=
* '''editor''': Name of editor(s). Do not Wikilink any values in the editor value but use '''editor-link''' instead. If '''chapter''' is not specified, then "ed." displays after the editor's name(s). If '''chapter''' is specified, then "In" shows before the editor's name(s). This implies that the author is responsible only for part of the source (including the cited chapter) and the editor responsible for the whole source. If, however, the author(s) and editor(s) are responsible for the whole source, 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.

Alternatively, the '''editor''' parameter may be used if the chapter detail is included in the '''title''' parameter instead of using the '''chapter''' parameter.
*OR: alternatively '''editor-first''' and '''editor-last''' can be used in the same way as ''first'' and ''last''.
*OR: alternatively '''editor-first''' and '''editor-last''' can be used in the same way as ''first'' and ''last''.
*OR: for multiple editors up to four in number, use the parameters '''editor1-first''', '''editor1-last''' ... '''editor''n''-first''', '''editor''n''-last''' to correctly record all the information about the source in the same way as '''first''n''''' and '''last''n'''''.
*OR: for multiple editors up to four in number, use the '''editor1-first''', '''editor1-last''' through '''editor4-first''', '''editor4-last'''.
** '''editor-link''' or '''editor1-link''' ... '''editor''n''-link''' is used in the same way as '''authorlink''' or '''authorlink''n'''''.
** '''editor-link''' or '''editor1-link''' through '''editor'4-link''': Title of existing Wikipedia article about the editor— not the editor's website. Must not be wikilinked itself.

The template will display this in square brackets after the '''chapter''' field and it will link to the '''chapterurl''' field, if used. Use of the '''language''' parameter is recommended.
