<p><b>New page</b></p><div>* '''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.<br />
** '''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.<br />
**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.<br />
:* '''authorlink''': Title of existing Wikipedia article about the author—not the author's website; do not wikilink.<br />
:*OR: for multiple authors, use '''authorlink1''' through '''authorlink9'''.<br />
:Aliases: '''last''', '''last1''', '''author''', '''authors'''; '''last1''', '''author1''' through '''last9''', '''author9'''<br />
::When using {{sfnote}} or {{paren}} styles with templates, do not use multiple names in one parameter else the anchor will not match the inline link.</div>Romano
