  • accessmonthday and accessyear: Month and day when item was accessed, e.g. May 10, and year when item was accessed, e.g. 2005. Will not be wikilinked.

Optional parameters

  • last works with first to produce last, first
  • authorlink works either with author or with last & first to link to the appropriate article on Battlestar Wiki.
  • authorlinkurl If the author's link is not on the Battlestar Wiki input the full address here.
  • coauthors: allows additional authors in last, first format.
• date: Full date of publication, preferably in ISO 8601 YYYY-MM-DD format, e.g. 2006-02-17.

• publisher: Publisher, if any.
