I apologize if this has been discussed before; I was away from Wikipedia for some time and missed a lot of conversations about stuff like this. Thanks!—[[User:D'Ranged 1|<font color="FF6600">'''D'Ranged 1'''</font>]] [[User talk:D'Ranged 1|<font color="66000"><sup>'''VTalk'''</sup></font>]] 01:11, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
:Where it is impractical to rearrange a name into a last/first pair, the {{para|author}} parameter (and its numbered siblings) may be used. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 07:59, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
::{{U|Redrose64}} I was perhaps too verbose; I object to instructing editors to put unnecessary titles in any field at all. If required, I think the documentation should instruct editors to put courtesy titles such as "Rev." in {{para|first}} and suffixes in {{para|last}}. Your comment didn't address the issues I was trying to raise; however, your comment would make an ''excellent'' addition to the documentation, just as you have written it.
