Parameter Description
Names of author(s)
last The last and first names of the primary author of the article. Alternatively, specify the primary author's name using |author=.
first
author

authors

Use |author= to specify the primary author's name, or, alternatively, specify the author's first and last names using |first= and |last=. Use |authors= to specify a list of authors.
authorlink The name of a Wikipedia article about the author, like this: ":en:Mark Twain" (for the article "Mark Twain" in the English Wikipedia) or ":de:Friedrich Schiller" (for the article "Friedrich Schiller" in the German Wikipedia). It is suggested you only use |authorlink= with |author=, as using it with |authors= will cause the entire list of authors to be linked to the Wikipedia article you specify.
coauthors The name(s) of the co-author(s) of the article. Names can be wikilinked, if desired. Separate a series of names with semicolons, like this: "[[:en:Harry Woolf, Baron Woolf|Lord Woolf]]; Jeffrey Jowell; Andrew Le Sueur; Catherine M. Donnelly". (You may also link to an article at the English Wikipedia like this: "[[w:Mark Twain|Mark Twain]]" or "{{w|Mark Twain}}".)
