Parameters

• |author=: Name(s) of the author(s). Must be formatted like "Last name, First name"; multiple authors must be separated with a ";" between their names. An author is not necessarily an individual and could be an organization. A long list of authors can be reduced using ", et al." after the first name. Provide wikilinks whenever they are available.
• |container=: Name of a specific part of a larger publication, such as an introduction, an essay, an article, a chapter in an anthology/collection, or an entry in an encyclopedia. Do not use this parameter for standalone publications with a single author. Quotation marks will be added automatically.
• |title=: Name of the publication being cited. Italic will be applied automatically. Provide wikilinks whenever they are available.
• |contributor=: Name(s) of contributor(s), such as the editor or the translator.
• |version=: Edition (ed.), reprint, etc.
• |number=: Specific volume, number, or issue. Must be formatted like "vol. 1" or "no. 2".
• |publisher=: Name of the publisher. Provide wikilinks whenever they are available.
• |date=: Date of publication. For books, write only the year. For periodicals, use the cover date, not the actual release date, and either use "Month YYYY" for monthly publication or when the day is unknown, or use ISO 8601 YYYY-MM-DD format.
• |pages=: Page(s) relevant to the citation, formatted as "p. X" for a single page, or "pp. X-X" for several pages.
• |language=: Language of publication. English implied if not specified.
• |isbn=: International Standard Book Number. Will be linked to Special:BookSources automatically.
