*'''title''' is required, rest is optional. Note that title must be on one line in order for the hyperlink to display properly. Do not enclose it in quotations marks, italics or other formatting, though it may be wikilinked.
* '''author''': Author.
** '''last''' works with '''first''' to produce <code>last, first</code>
** '''authorlink''' works either with '''author''' or with '''last''' & '''first''' to link to the appropriate Wikipedia article. Does not work with URLs.
** '''coauthors''': Allows additional authors.
* '''url''': Link to the news item if available online (note this is not for a link to the main web page of the work of publisher, but only to a copy of the item specified in "title"). 
** '''format''': Format, e.g. PDF. Don't specify for HTML (implied as default).
**: Specify as'' 'fee required' ''if free access is no longer available.
**: Specify as'' 'Reprint' ''if you use a full original version but not hosted by the original publisher.
* '''work''': Such as a column, sub part of issue, or a multi-part work such as a magazine or newspaper title. Do not italicize.
* '''publisher''': The company or organization that publishes the news source.
** '''location''': Place of the news source, e.g. Toronto for the [[Daily Globe and Mail]].

*'''id''': Identifier such as {{tlx|ISSN|0028-0836}} — remember, if you use this parameter, you '''must''' specify the kind of identifier, not just give a number.
* '''date''': Date of publication. The [[ISO 8601]] YYYY-MM-DD format is recommended, and will be automatically [[m:Help:Preferences#Date format|wikilinked]]  to enable [[Special:Preferences#prefsection-4|date user preferences]] if used. If the whole date is known and another date format is used, it should be wikilinked (e.g., <nowiki>date=[[3 December]] [[2007]]</nowiki>). 
* '''page''' or '''pages''': The page(s) on which the article is found. '''page''' inserts the abbreviation "p." before the number; '''pages''' inserts "pp." Use only one of these parameters. If numbers are entered for both, '''pages''' overrides '''page'''.
* '''accessdate''': Date when item was accessed. Use [[ISO 8601]] YYYY-MM-DD format. Do not wikilink the date.
* '''language''': The language in which the source is written. If English (the default) do not use this parameter.
* '''quote''': Relevant quotation.
*'''archiveurl''': URL of the archive location of the item (requires '''archivedate'''); this is for archives such as those at internetarchive.org; for back-issues and the like that are on file at the publisher's site, use the "url" parameter.
*'''archivedate''': Date when the item was archived (requires '''archiveurl'''), in [[ISO 8601]] YYYY-MM-DD format, e.g. ''2006-02-17''. Must not be wikilinked; it will be linked automatically.
