* '''last''': The author's surname or last name. Don't use with the '''author''' parameter.
* '''first''': The author's first or given name(s).

* '''title''': Title of the work. Mandatory for web references.
* '''publisher''': The name of the publisher. Omit terms such as ''Publishers'', ''Co.'', ''Inc.'', ''Ltd.'', etc., but retain the words ''Books'' or ''Press''. Not normally included where the publication is a periodical which has its own Wikipedia article (e.g. ''[[Newsweek]]'', ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'').
** '''publication-place''' (or '''place''' or '''location'''): The city of publication. If more than one town/city is listed on the title page, give the first one or the location of the publisher's head office. Omit when the publication is a periodical whose name specifies the location (e.g. ''The New York Times'', ''The Times of India'')
* '''page''': For use when one page is cited. Adds "p." before the page number. Do not use with '''pages'''.
* '''url''': A [[Uniform resource locator|url]] of an online location where the item can be found. If the url includes double quotes, these must be encoded as "%22".
** '''accessdate''': Date<ref group = "n" name = "dates" /> when the url was accessed.
