Template:Citation Style documentation/display

• mode: Sets element separator, default terminal punctuation, and certain capitalization according to the value provided. For |{{#if:mode|mode=}}cs1, element separator and terminal punctuation is a period (.); where appropriate, initial letters of certain words are capitalized ('Retrieved...'). For |{{#if:mode|mode=}}cs2, element separator is a comma (,); terminal punctuation is omitted; where appropriate, initial letters of certain words are not capitalized ('retrieved...'). To override default terminal punctuation use postscript.
• author-mask: Replaces the name of the first author with em dashes or text. Set author-mask to a numeric value n to set the dash n em spaces wide; set author-mask to a text value to display the text without a trailing author separator; for example, "with". You must still include the values for all authors for metadata purposes. Primarily intended for use with bibliographies or bibliography styles where multiple works by a single author are listed sequentially such as {{#ifeq:y|y|shortened footnotes|Shortened footnotes}}. Do not use in a list generated by {{[[{{#if:|{{{SISTER}}}Template|Template}}:reflist|reflist]]{{#if:||{{{2}}}}}{{#if:||{{{3}}}}}{{#if:||{{{4}}}}}{{#if:||{{{5}}}}}{{#if:||{{{6}}}}}{{#if:||{{{7}}}}}{{#if:||...}}}}, {{#switch:s

 |c|close =
 |s|single
 |o|open
 |p|pair = <references{{#if:| {{{params}}}}}
}}{{#switch:s
 |c|close = 
 |s|single =  />
 |o|open = >
 |p|pair = {{#ifeq:references|!--||>}}...
}}{{#switch:s
 |s|single
 |o|open =
 |c|close
 |p|pair = {{#ifeq:references|!--|-->|</references>}}
}} or similar as there is no control of the order in which references are displayed. You can also use editor-mask and translator-mask in the same way.

• display-authors: Controls the number of author names that are displayed when a citation is published. To change the displayed number of authors, set display-authors to the desired number. For example, |{{#if:display-authors|display-authors=}}2 will display only the first two authors in a citation. By default, all authors are displayed. |{{#if:display-authors|display-authors=}}etal displays all authors in the list followed by et al. Aliases: displayauthors.
• display-editors: Controls the number of editor names that are displayed when a citation is published. To change the displayed number of editors, set display-editors to the desired number. For example, |{{#if:display-editors|display-editors=}}2 will display only the first two editors in a citation. By default, all editors are displayed. |{{#if:display-editors|display-editors=}}etal displays all editors in the list followed by et al. Aliases: displayeditors.
• last-author-amp: Switches the separator between the last two names of the author list to space ampersand space ( & ) when set to y, yes, or true. Example: |{{#if:last-author-amp|last-author-amp=}}yes
• postscript: Controls the closing punctuation for a citation; defaults to {{#if: |none|a period (.); for no terminating punctuation, specify |{{#if:postscript|postscript=}}none – leaving |{{#if:postscript|postscript=}} empty is the same as omitting it, but is ambiguous}}. Ignored if quote is defined.
