* '''author-mask''': Replaces the name of the first author with [[dash|em dashes]] or text. Set '''author-mask''' to a numeric value to set the dash in em spaces; set '''author-mask''' to a text value to display a word instead; for example, "with". You must still include the values for all authors for metadata purposes. Primarily intended for use in bibliographies for some styles where multiple works by a single author are listed. Do not use in a list generated by {{tl|reflist}}, {{tag|references|s}} or similar as there is no control as to the order that references will display.
* '''author-mask''': Replaces the name of the first author with [[dash|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 bibliography styles where multiple works by a single author are listed sequentially. Do not use in a list generated by {{tlx|reflist}}, {{tag|references|s}} or similar as there is no control of the order in which references are displayed.
* '''author-name-separator''': Changes 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.

In Lua-based CS1 citations, when the parameter is present but blank, separator punctuation is set to the default.
* '''author-separator''': Changes 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.

In Lua-based CS1 citations, when the parameter is present but blank, separator punctuation is set to the default.
* '''display-authors''': By default, the number of authors displayed is limited to 8; if 9 are provided, the ninth is displayed as "et al." This parameter allows display of fewer authors before the "et al."; for example, use {{para|display-authors|2}} for only two authors. The "et al." may be suppressed altogether by setting {{para|display-authors|9}}.

  • 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 bibliography styles where multiple works by a single author are listed sequentially. 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: Changes 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 &#32; do not use an asterisk (*), colon (:) or hash (#) as they will be interpreted as wikimarkup. In Lua-based CS1 citations, when the parameter is present but blank, separator punctuation is set to the default.
  • author-separator: Changes 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 &#32; do not use an asterisk (*), colon (:) or hash (#) as they will be interpreted as wikimarkup. In Lua-based CS1 citations, when the parameter is present but blank, separator punctuation is set to the default.
  • displayauthors: By default, the number of authors displayed is limited to 8; if 9 are provided, the ninth is displayed as "et al." This parameter allows display of fewer authors before the "et al."; for example, use |displayauthors=2 for only two authors. The "et al." may be suppressed altogether by setting |displayauthors=9. For the Lua-based CS1 citations: The number of authors is not restricted. The Lua-based citation engine cannot know if editors created citations with exactly nine authors because there were only nine authors or, because old-style citations were limited to nine authors. When there are exactly nine authors, Lua-based citations mimic the old-style citations; suppress the automatic "et al." by setting |displayauthors=9.
  • lastauthoramp: When set to any value, changes the separator between the last two names of the author list to space ampersand space ( & ).
  • postscript: The closing punctuation for the citation; defaults to a period (.); if the parameter is present, but blank, no terminating punctuation will be used. Ignored if quote is defined.
  • separator: 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 &#32; do not use an asterisk (*), colon (:) or hash (#) as they will be interpreted as wikimarkup. In Lua-based CS1 citations, when the parameter is present but blank, separator punctuation is set to the default.
