This template is used for putting a standardized byline at the top of story pages that are in the main namespace, and thus have a title header automatically generated by the wiki software. For stories on user subpages use Template:Title.

• "name" is a freeform parameter that is the text that will be displayed as an author name
• "user" is the username of the author that the author's name will be linked to. Don't include the "User:" prefix, that will be added automatically to the link.
• "coauthors" is an optional parameter where one can list other authors who have contributed to a story. The text can include links to user pages if any of the coauthors are also Shifti users.
• "category" is the name of the category containing the author's work. Omitting this results in a category link not being created.

The following blank template can be copied and pasted for convenience:

{{byline|author=<name>|coauthors=<list of names>|user=<username>}}
