* '''author-mask''': Primarily intended for use in bibliographies for some styles where multiple works by a single author are listed. It replaces the name of the first author with a strike-thru dash (—) author-mask em in length. If {{para|author-mask|1}} then the dash will be one em in length and so on. 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. 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.

* <span id="csdoc_display"></span><b id="csdoc_mode">mode</b>: Sets element separator, default terminal punctuation, and certain capitalization according to the value provided.  For {{para|mode|cs1}}, element separator and terminal punctuation is a period (<code>.</code>); where appropriate, initial letters of certain words are capitalized ('Retrieved...').  For {{para|mode|cs2}}, element separator is a comma (<code>,</code>); terminal punctuation is omitted; where appropriate, initial letters of certain words are not capitalized ('retrieved...'). To override default terminal punctuation use '''postscript'''.

* '''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 percent encoded as <code>&amp#32;</code>; do not use a semicolon (;), colon (:) or hash (#) as they will be interpreted as wikimarkup.
+
* <b id="csdoc_author-mask">author-mask</b>: Replaces the name of the first author with [[dash#Em 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 bibliographies or bibliography styles where multiple works by a single author are listed sequentially such as {{sfnote|lc=y}}. 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. You can also use '''editor-mask''' and '''translator-mask''' in the same way.

* '''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 percent encoded as <code>&amp#32;</code>; do not use a semicolon (;), colon (:) or hash (#) as they will be interpreted as wikimarkup.

* <b id="csdoc_display-authors"><span id="csdoc_displayauthors"></span>display-authors</b>: Controls the number of author names that are displayed when a citation is published. To change the displayed number of authors, set '''display-authors''' to the desired number. For example, {{para|display-authors|2}} will display only the first two authors in a citation. By default, all authors are displayed. {{para|display-authors|etal}} displays all authors in the list followed by et al. Aliases: '''displayauthors'''.
−
* '''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." (e.g., {{para|display-authors|2}}; alternatively, the "et al." may be suppressed by the use of {{para|display-authors|9}}.
+
* <b id="csdoc_display-editors"><span id="csdoc_displayeditors"></span>display-editors</b>: Controls the number of editor names that are displayed when a citation is published. To change the displayed number of editors, set '''display-editors''' to the desired number. For example, {{para|display-editors|2}} will display only the first two editors in a citation. By default, all editors are displayed. {{para|display-editors|etal}} displays all editors in the list followed by et al. Aliases: '''displayeditors'''.
−
* '''lastauthoramp''': When set to any value, changes the separator to use between the last two names in lists of authors to an ampersand (&); defaults to a semicolon and space (; ), else {{para|author-separator}} if set.
+
* <b id="csdoc_lastauthoramp">last-author-amp</b>: Switches the separator between the last two names of the author list to space ampersand space (<code> & </code>) when set to <code>y</code>, <code>yes</code>, or <code>true</code>. Example: {{para|last-author-amp|yes}}
−
* '''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 {{para|quote}} is specified.
+
* <b id="csdoc_postscript">postscript</b>: Controls the closing punctuation for a citation; defaults to {{#if: {{{cs2|}}}|none|a period (<code>.</code>); for no terminating punctuation, specify {{para|postscript|none}} – leaving {{para|postscript}} empty is the same as omitting it, but is ambiguous}}. 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; do not use a semicolon (;), colon (:) or hash (#) as they will be interpreted as wikimarkup.

  • mode: Sets element separator, default terminal punctuation, and certain capitalization according to the value provided. For |mode=cs1, element separator and terminal punctuation is a period (.); where appropriate, initial letters of certain words are capitalized ('Retrieved...'). For |mode=cs2, element separator is a comma (,); terminal punctuation is omitted; where appropriate, initial letters of certain words are not capitalized ('retrieved...'). To override default terminal punctuation use postscript.
  • 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 bibliographies or bibliography styles where multiple works by a single author are listed sequentially such as shortened footnotes. 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. You can also use editor-mask and translator-mask in the same way.
  • display-authors: Controls the number of author names that are displayed when a citation is published. To change the displayed number of authors, set display-authors to the desired number. For example, |display-authors=2 will display only the first two authors in a citation. By default, all authors are displayed. |display-authors=etal displays all authors in the list followed by et al. Aliases: displayauthors.
  • display-editors: Controls the number of editor names that are displayed when a citation is published. To change the displayed number of editors, set display-editors to the desired number. For example, |display-editors=2 will display only the first two editors in a citation. By default, all editors are displayed. |display-editors=etal displays all editors in the list followed by et al. Aliases: displayeditors.
  • last-author-amp: Switches the separator between the last two names of the author list to space ampersand space ( & ) when set to y, yes, or true. Example: |last-author-amp=yes
  • postscript: Controls the closing punctuation for a citation; defaults to a period (.); for no terminating punctuation, specify |postscript=none – leaving |postscript= empty is the same as omitting it, but is ambiguous. Ignored if quote is defined.
