*:{{para|newspaper|<nowiki>[[The New York Times]]</nowiki>}}{{para|publisher|The New York Times Company|!mxt=y}}

*:{{para|newspaper|<nowiki>[[USA Today]]</nowiki>}}{{para|publisher|<nowiki>[[Gannett Company]]</nowiki>|!mxt=y}}

* '''location''' (alias {{para|publication-place}}): Geographical place of publication ({{em|not}} where you found your copy, nor location of material in the source). This is usually {{var|City, Country}}, or {{var|City, US State}}. The city name by itself can be used for world-recognized cities like New York, London (except in articles about [[London, Ontario|Canadian]] topics), Paris, Tokyo. Simply having a unique name does not mean it is globally recognizable; e.g., many people do not know where [[Mumbai]] is, especially if they are old enough that it was called [[Bombay]] for much of their lives. If in doubt, be more not less specific, since "Toronto, Canada" and "San Francisco, California" do not actually hurt anything. Be more specific when a {{var|City, Country}} would be ambiguous, e.g. {{para|location|Hanley, Staffordshire, UK}}, versus {{para|location|Hanley, Worcestershire, UK}}. Do not use sub-national postal abbreviations ("DE", "Wilts", etc.), per [[MOS:POSTABBR]].  The location parameter should be omitted when it is implied by the name of the work, e.g. ''The Sydney Morning Herald''.  The location parameter should be used when the location is part of a common appellation of but not the actual title of a periodical. For example, the newspaper formerly known as and sometimes still called the ''San Jose Mercury News'' is actually ''[[The Mercury News]]'' and can be entered with {{para|newspaper|The Mercury News}} {{para|location|San Jose, Calif.}}, which yields: ''The Mercury News''. San Jose, Calif. A similar example is ''[[The Times]]'' of London (contrast ''[[The New York Times]]''). Per [[WP:SAYWHEREYOUGOTIT]], provide the location of the edition you are using (e.g., if a publisher has operations in both New York and London and you have the London-published edition, use {{para|location|London}}, even if the publisher's corporate HQ is in New York). If your edition specifically gives multiple locations, this can be indicated with, e.g., {{para|location|New York / London}}. This same technique can be used for co-published works, e.g.: {{para|location|Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois / Los Angeles}}{{para|publisher|<nowiki>[[Council of Science Editors]]</nowiki> / <nowiki>[[Loyola Marymount University]]</nowiki> Press}}; just get them in corresponding order in both parameters. The templates do {{em|not}} have separate {{para|location1|!mxt=y}}, {{para|publisher1|!mxt=y}}, etc., parameters.  For historical publications that are still worth citing and still findable (e.g. via book digitizers – see the "via" parameter below), do not confuse the {{em|printer}} (printing press owner-operator) with the {{em|publisher}} (organization or person that sponsored the work); an edition may have a printer's name in larger type than the publisher, but for citation purposes we care about the publisher. If the distinction cannot be determined for certain in a particular case, list both. While some off-site publishers lean toward omitting publishing locations, they can serve more than purely bibliographical purposes on Wikipedia (e.g. an overabundance of material published in one place in an article about another place may reveal an editorial bias).
