indicate how exactly to use author-link when you want to link to more than one author, I MAY BE WRONG about how it can be author2-link or author-link2. (n.b. I may be wrong about other things too.)
Line 144:
** '''author-link''' works either with '''author''' or with '''last''' & '''first''' to link to the appropriate wikipedia article. Does not work with URLs.
** '''author2''', or '''last2''' & '''first2''': allows additional authors
** '''author2-link''' and '''author-last2''': allow links to Wikipedia pages for additional authors
* '''url''': Link to the news item if available online
** '''format''': Format, i.e. PDF. Don't specify for HTML (implied as default).
Line 197 ⟶ 198:
* '''title''' (required): Title of online item.
* '''access-date''' in same format as dates in body of article.
* either '''author''', or '''last''' and '''first''' to produce <code>last, first</code>. Don't wikilink these; instead use '''author-link''' to link to the appropriate wikipedia article. Does not work with URLs. More authors can be added as author2 author3 etc. as can first, last pairs of parameters. When there are multiple authors, both '''author2-link''' and '''author-link2''' allow links to multiple authors' Wikipedia pages.
 
* '''date''': Full date of publication, in same format as main text of article. Or, use '''year'''. If you also have the day, use ''date'' instead. (optional)
