*'''title''' is required, rest is optional. Note that title must be on one line in order for the hyperlink to display properly.
* '''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
** '''format''': Format, i.e. PDF. Don't specify for HTML (implied as default).
**: Specify as'' 'fee required' ''if free access no longer available.
**: Specify as'' 'Reprint' ''if a full original version but not hosted by the original publisher.
* '''work''': If this item is part of a larger work (such as a newspaper), name of that work.
* '''publisher''': Publisher, if any.
*'''id''': Identifier such as <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[:Template:ISSN|ISSN]]|0028-0836}} — remember, you '''must''' specify the kind of identifier, not just give a number.

* '''pages''' overrides '''page'''
* '''accessdate''': Date when item was accessed. Use [[ISO 8601]] YYYY-MM-DD format. Do not wikilink the date.
