Parameters
All parameters are optional unless otherwise indicated.

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

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.

Separate a series of names with semicolons, like this: "[[:en:Harry Woolf, Baron Woolf|Lord Woolf]]; Jeffrey Jowell; Andrew Le Sueur; Catherine M. Donnelly".
