deprecated cs1 parameter |coauthors=
In the article is this cs1 template:

This template includes the deprecated parameter Town and Village of Ossining, NY. That parameter will be going away.

When I got to this article I visited the link in the template to make sure that I was doing the right thing. On page 2 of the referenced document are listed:
 * 1) the title: Municipal Services & Financial Overview: Town and Village of Ossining, NY
 * 2) the date: April 2012
 * 3) for whom it as prepared: Town and Village of Ossining, NY
 * 4) who prepared it: Joseph Stefco

The cs1 template gets most of that right. What it gets wrong is that it identifies the party for whom it was prepared as a coauthor. For this reason, I deleted coauthors and its contents with.

Editor Ɱ reverts and in the edit summary claims that the extra detail is useful and not harming anything. Perhaps it is useful though probably not since in the coauthors parameter it falsely claims Town and Village of Ossining, NY is an author. Editor Ɱ further suggests that white space I added to the citation to make it easier for me to read was inappropriate. I'll not contest that as it really is unimportant. The issue is the incorrect use of an author-holding parameter (whether it is deprecated or no) to hold content that is not an author. Town and Village of Ossining, NY should be removed from this citation.

 * Okay, upon review of the document, I believe I misinterpreted the full title; you're right that it's likely more of a subheading than a byline. As for the spaces: all of the references I've ever submitted have no extra spaces or line breaks; it helps to condense the references. Readability isn't too much of an issue for me; it's very legible on the saved page.-- ɱ    (talk  ·  vbm)  01:23, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
