*'''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.
** '''curly=y''' causes the title to be enclosed in true [[Quotation mark glyphs|curved quotes]], not [[Quotation mark glyphs|typewriter quotes]]. Currently has no effect on the quotation specified in '''quote'''.
* '''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'''). Start the url with the communications protocol e.g. [[hypertext Transfer Protocol|http]]://.
** '''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.
* '''agency''': The [[news agency]] (wire service) that provided the content, e.g. [[Associated Press]], [[Reuters]], etc. Spell out and link the full name.
* '''work''': The publication that ran the item, e.g. [[Newsweek]]. Can also be used for the name of a column or subpart of an issue. Do not italicize.
** '''location''': Place of the publication, e.g. [[Toronto]] for [[The Globe and Mail]]. For [[student newspaper]]s, include the name of the school. 
* '''publisher''': The company or organization that publishes the news source. Not necessary for major publications like [[The New York Times]], but may add credibility for local papers that are part of a family of publications like [[The McClatchy Company]].
*'''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. Use the same format as the main text of the article.
* '''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''': Full date when item was accessed.
* '''language''': The language in which the source is written. If English (the default) do not use this parameter.
* '''quote''': Relevant quotation. Adding a quotation can help locate online copies of the item using a text search, especially if the original link goes dead. 
*'''archiveurl''': URL of the archive location of the item (requires '''archivedate''', '''title''', and '''url'''); 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''', '''title''', and '''url''').
