prefix1 First author's prefix (e.g., Mrs.). Do not use this for honorary prefixes like "Dr." or "Prof." See {{name}}. For an article with only one author, prefix can be used as a synonym.
first1 First author's first name. For an article with only one author, first can be used as a synonym.
last1 First author's last name, or the whole name of the author when that author has a single name (such as an organization). For an article with only one author, last can be used as a synonym.
suffix1 First author's suffix (e.g., Jr.). See {{name}}. For an article with only one author, suffix can be used as a synonym.
author-note1 Note for the first author (for example, [pseudonym]). See {{name}}. For an article with only one author, author-note can be used as a synonym.

kicker The "kicker": a short phrase introducing the headline, usually printed in smaller type, sometimes underlined, above the main headline. A kicker is also called an overline, eyebrow, or strap. (See [1], [2], [3].)
title The title or main headline. This should be in sentence case.
subtitle1 The first subtitle or first subhead. This should be in sentence case. If a sentence- or phrase-ending period appears in the middle of a subtitle, replace it with a semicolon. For an article with only one subtitle, subtitle can be used as a synonym.
subtitle2 Second through sixth subtitles or subheads.
subtitle3
subtitle4
subtitle5
subtitle6
column The name of a recurring newspaper column. This should be in title case.
paper The name of the newspaper. This should be the name of the paper as it appears in the masthead on the first page, including the spelling shown there. For example, from November 1, 1894, to December 31, 1905, the Pittsburgh Post spelled its name as Pittsburg Post; this is the spelling that should be used for this newspaper in this period. Omit the word The.
paper-city The city where the newspaper was published, if it is not obvious from the newspaper's name.
date The date of the article.
magazine If the article was part of a magazine published with the newspaper, the title of the magazine. Include this only if the pages of the magazine are numbered starting at 1. If the page numbering of the whole newspaper, including the magazine, is a straight sequence, then do not include the magazine parameter.
section The section of the newspaper. Include this only if the pages in each section are numbered starting at 1. If the page numbers include the section (e.g., C-3), or the page numbering of the whole newspaper is a straight sequence without regard to section (e.g., the Pittsburgh Press in the 1930s), then do not include the section parameter. See {{section}} for details of the format of this parameter.
page The page or page range of the article. If the cited pages are not actually numbered, surround the value of page with square brackets: [...]. (See {{page}}.)
npcom One or more Newspapers.com image IDs for the article, separated by spaces.
gbooks One or more Google Books IDs, separated by spaces. A page identifier should be provided if possible, following a @ symbol (see Template:Gbooks).
url One or more URLs for the article, separated by spaces.
note A note to be appended to the end of the citation.
is-subref Set this parameter to true when citing this article inside the definition of another source in the "Source" namespace. This changes some punctuation and suppresses the categorization of the source in Category:Newspaper article sources.
source-name The page name of this source (in the "Source" namespace). This is used to provide a link to the source page.
