first	first author-first author-first1 author1-first	no description	Line	suggested
author-link	author-link author-link1 author1-link	no description	Page name	optional
last2	last2	no description	Unknown	optional
first2	first2	no description	Unknown	optional
last3	last3	no description	Unknown	optional
first3	first3	no description	Unknown	optional
last4	last4	no description	Unknown	optional
first4	first4	no description	Unknown	optional
Publication date	date year 4	Click the link labeled "Author and Citation Info" or "How to cite this entry" and use the "last modified" date displayed after the list of archived versions. While this can be generated automatically from the edition, it is better to include it. Dates provided as "first published" and "substantive revision" should usually not be used, as minor revisions may have been published later. If the edition is provided and the date parameter is omitted, then a full publication date with month and day is shown. If you would prefer to display only a year, then also provide the year parameter manually and it will be shown instead. Example 21 March 2016	Date	optional
Date of first publication	orig-date orig-year	Often listed below the article title. Also available on the "Author and Citation Information" page associated with the article. Example 8 September 2008	Date	suggested
url-id	url-id 1	Part of the URL of the article at the SEP website. For example, the entry "Nietzsche's Moral and Political Philosophy", with the URL https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/nietzsche-moral-political/ , will be said to have the url-id of "nietzsche-moral-political". Trailing slashes should be omitted. Supplements will contain a slash, but should omit the trailing ".html". Example nietzsche-moral-political	Line	suggested
Article title	article title 2	The title of the encyclopedia article. This should ideally be in sentence case. Do not include section headings. Example Byzantine philosophy	Line	required
Supplement to	supplement-to	Article title of the article to which this article is a supplement. Some SEP articles are labeled as supplements to other articles. These are identified as such at the top of the page. Example Mental Imagery	Line	suggested
Edition	edition	Edition as listed on the SEP website. Format: Season Year. This can be found in the header of archived pages. On live pages, click the link labeled "Author and Citation Info" or "How to cite this entry". Example Fall 2018	Line	suggested
Article URL	article-url url	Full URL of the article. This should normally be omitted, as it can be generated automatically if the edition parameter is provided. Stable archived version is preferred. Bookmarks to sections within the page are permitted. Example https://plato.stanford.edu/archives/win2008/entries/byzantine-philosophy/	URL	optional
URL fragment	url-fragment	URL fragment to be appended to the article URL. This is usually a bookmark or anchor used in combination with the section parameter, but can also be a text fragment. Example ExpRep	Line	suggested
Section	section	Heading of a specific section. Use this or the at parameter, but not both. Example Experience or Representation?	Line	suggested
at	at loc	Use this or the section parameter, but not both.	Line	optional
OCLC	oclc	OCLC identifier. One is automatically provided for SEP, but some articles have their own OCLC.	Number	optional
mode	mode	no description	Unknown	optional
ref	ref	no description	Unknown	optional
name-list-style	name-list-style	no description	Unknown	optional
name-list-format	name-list-format	no description	Unknown	optional
Short?	short	Should the editor and additional bibliographic information be omitted? Useful for repeated citations and the external links section. Example yes	Boolean	optional

Superfluous parameters for future-proofing

These parameters are for future-proofing, and do not need to be used as of 2017:

|editor-first=
|editor-last=
|editor-link=

These parameters will only be needed if a paper edition is produced and it is what is being cited; they are not yet needed as of 2017:

|volume=
|page=
|pages=
