Full syntax

Template with all parameters	Parameter	Description
{{directory |first1= |last1= |first2= |last2= |title= |subtitle1= |subtitle2= |subtitle3= |subtitle4= |issue= |publisher= |city= |year= |donslist= |gbooks= |hathi= |histpgh= |archive= |lccn= |url= |note= |page={{{page|}}} |is-subref={{{is-subref|}}} |source-name={{subst:PAGENAME}} }}	first1	First author's first name. For a directory with only one author, first can be used as a synonym.
	last1	First author's last name, or the whole name of the first author when that author has a single name (such as an organization). For a directory with only one author, last can be used as a synonym.
	first2	Second author's name.
	last2
	title	Directory title. This should be in title case.
	subtitle1	First subtitle. This should be in sentence case. For a directory with only one subtitle, subtitle can be used as a synonym.
	subtitle2	Additional subtitles.
	subtitle3
	subtitle4
	issue	The issue of the directory. This should be a complete phrase, e.g., twenty-eighth annual issue.
	publisher	The name of the publisher.
	city	The city where the directory was published.
	year	The year of publication.
	donslist	One or more DonsList.net IDs, separated by spaces.
	gbooks	One or more Google Books IDs, separated by spaces.
	hathi	One or more HathiTrust IDs, separated by spaces.
	histpgh	One or more Historic Pittsburgh IDs, separated by spaces.
	archive	One or more Internet Archive IDs, separated by spaces.
	lccn	One or more LCCNs (Library of Congress Control Numbers), separated by spaces.
	url	One or more URLs, separated by spaces.
	note	A note to be appended to the end of the citation.
	page	A specific page or page range being cited. Normally this should not be provided for the source itself (i.e., in the "Source" namespace), but rather passed as an argument when the source is cited on a page. When providing a value for page, if the cited pages are not actually numbered, surround the value with square brackets: [...]. (See {{page}}.)
	is-subref	Set this parameter to true when citing this directory inside the definition of another source in the "Source" namespace. This changes some punctuation and suppresses the categorization of the source in Category:City directory and street guide sources.
	source-name	The page name of this source (in the "Source" namespace). This is used to provide a link to the source page.
