:The template parser for CP is now highly robust, so that we can make a number of parameters optional. In the extreme case, we can create more than one template. I am not aware that one must specify parameters in the order in which the template uses them.
:One thing to remember: the parser cannot handle the processing of the <nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki> tags within the template. One must use those tags ''outside'' the template--especially since the <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tag does take an optional parameter, that being the name of the reference, so that one can cite it more than once.
:Most footnotes appear with the Christian name first, then the surname. But that might not be according to MLA style. We ought to stick to MLA style as closely as possible, even if it means specifying more than one parameter for a linked biographical name (or, in the alternative, giving each biographee a redirect having the surname first).--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 08:02, 11 July 2007 (EDT)
