Template:Citation Style documentation/author


 * last: Surname of author. Do not wikilink—use authorlink instead. For corporate authors, simply use last to include the same format as the source. Aliases: last1, author, authors, author1.
 * 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. Aliases: first1. Requires last; first name will not display if last is empty.


 * authorlink: Title of existing Wikipedia article about the author—not the author's website; do not wikilink. Aliases: authorlink1, author-link, author1-link, author1link.


 * When using or  styles with templates, do not use multiple names in one field or else the anchor will not match the inline link.
