looks good, but don't we still need alias for 'first' and 'first1'? |

Line 37:
:The semicolon doesn't separate a series. It separates elements in a series. Everything within a set of semicolons is an alias of the same thing. In the above, authorlink2 and author2-link are aliases, which is why they are not separated by semicolons. The semicolon sets off the next group of aliases. The ellipses does represent an omission. The sequence [2] throuh [8] is omitted for brevity.[[User:Coastside|Coastside]] ([[User talk:Coastside|talk]]) 21:09, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
::See [[WP:ELLIPSIS]]. You are using it to indicate a range; if these were pure numbers, then we would use an en dash per [[WP:DASH]]. They aren't numbers, thus {{em|through}} is more appropriate. The semicolon is now moot. ---'''''— [[User:Gadget850|<span style="color:gray">Gadget850 (Ed)</span>]]<span style="color:darkblue"> '''''</span><sup>[[User talk:Gadget850|''talk'']]</sup> 22:16, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
:::I think this approach works well. Nice job. Still one more problem, though. In the line that describes usage for '''last''', you list aliases: '''last''', '''author''', '''authors''', '''last1''', '''author1'''. In the line that describes usage for '''first''', there is no list of aliases. Shouldn't this include something that says aliases: '''first''', '''first1'''?
