* '''last''': Surname of author. Do not wikilink— use '''authorlink''' instead.
* '''last''': Surname of author. Do not wikilink— use '''authorlink''' instead. 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.

* '''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.
