• author-mask: Replaces the name of the first author with em dashes or text. Set author-mask to a numeric value to set the dash in em spaces; 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. Primarily intended for use in bibliographies for some styles where multiple works by a single author are listed. Do not use in a list generated by {{reflist}}, {{#switch:s

|c|close  = 
|s|single
|o|open
|p|pair   = <references{{#if:| {{{params}}}}}

|c|close  = 
|s|single =  />
|o|open   = >
|p|pair   = >...

|s|single
|o|open   = 
|c|close
|p|pair   = </references>

}} or similar as there is no control as to the order that references will display.

• 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 encoded as   do not use an asterisk (*), colon (:) or hash (#) as they will be interpreted as wikimarkup.
• 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 encoded as   do not use an asterisk (*), colon (:) or hash (#) as they will be interpreted as wikimarkup.
• 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."; for example, use |{{#if:display-authors|display-authors=}}2 for only two authors. The "et al." may be suppressed altogether by setting |{{#if:display-authors|display-authors=}}9.
• 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 author-separator if set.
• postscript: The closing punctuation for the citation; {{#if: |defaults to none|defaults to a period (.); if the parameter is present, but blank, no terminating punctuation will be used}}. Ignored if quote is defined.
• separator: The punctuation used to separate lists of authors, editors, etc. Defaults to a {{#if: |comma (,)|period (.)}}; if the parameter is present but blank, no separator punctuation will be used; do not use an asterisk (*), colon (:) or hash (#) as they will be interpreted as wikimarkup.
